Saturday! Comedown Day!
Big Breakfast Day! Berocca Day!
Love you all being you Day!
You Do You Day!

Edit: RIP 3rd Party Reddit Apps. You weathered that capitalist hellscape with grace and fortitude. We will never forget all that you stood for. 💜

I wonder if aussie.zone is going to get hammered today

I feel like people would have made the switch by now. ? The writing on the wall has been around for a while.

I think a lot of people were apathetic but are finally pulling the pin just because their favourite apps have been scuppered. I'm not going to lie, even I thought there was a chance of a last second Hail Mary pass but evidently not

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Hail Mary was a pipe dream. Reddit wants to go public. From what I understand, the valuation has been slashed (I’m not sure why but I don’t think it’s the API fiasco) so that offering could be pushed back a bit? Reuters reported that reddit was aiming for 2nd half of this year.

The NSFW subreddit piece is the thing to watch. I think it’s a lynchpin to mass migration. ??

I'm just surprised the 3rd party app developers didn't start making apps for the fediverse earlier, since they've known about this for a month - I can't help but think they were also hoping that reddit would cave at the last minute.

Very curious to see where the NSFW subs go, too.

There was some that were undecided that's why there was emergency spruiking done.

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I watched that go down. You make an excellent spruiker plant.😉

Just doing my bit of community service.

I'm someone that was in denial. Now that the app I was using to browse reddit is down I've had to do some research to figure out where the communities have gone..
