Oh well ain't that a surprise. Boycott Meta products.

It's exactly the reason the EU shut the door on them.

That Meta swooped in right when Twitter were at their lowest point? I feel like this isn't very surprising. I also think that this isn't actually going to be the revolutionary platform some people are making out it will be.

A business' way of having the customer pick up the bill for them not paying their staff properly. Really unfortunate that this has become so socially expected.

I felt this, but as the end of the month drew nearer and I adjusted to the idea of losing Reddit more, it has actually felt like a really cathartic process for me. Using PowerDeleteSuite on my profile, creating a new one here, searching for new communities within it. I honestly think this change will be a net positive for me personally. Reddit was absolutely swamped in noise and low quality content, it had been for years. A communal shift into a new world, that holds different values at the forefront, and by default (smaller, federated communities) content quality should improve. It reminds me a little of the old message board days.

I'm just waiting on a kbin app that goes at least some way to being as good an experience as Apollo was, as I'm mostly a mobile user.

Depends how you define 'worthless'. In the case of Apollo, it certainly wasn't financially worthless for him. And just to be clear, I have no issue with a quality app developer making money doing what they do.
