I never realized how significant killing third-party apps would be for me personally, but since Apollo stopped working my desire to use Reddit on my phone has dropped to zero. I’ve completely replaced it with Discord and “traditional” social media in my downtime.
If they kill old.reddit on desktop too, that will be the final nail in the coffin for me.
…and at least a little Lemmy.
I like a little look at Lemmy.
It took Apollo’s death for me to realize that I used Reddit primarily because of Apollo itself. Without it, I realized I just didn’t like Reddit all that much.
