I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.
Same, but after RiF. Reddit became a posterchild for the corporate greed so fuck them.
I am sad about RIF. It blocked all the ads, didn't show all the shitty awards, was super clean, the video player worked well and the mod tools were awesome.
On a side note, its sad demise led me to Lemmy, so all is well.
Reddit is Fun was among the first apps I installed on my first smart phone, way back in 2011. I thought, "oh reddit will come out with their own app eventually, I'll just use this until that happens." Turned out that 99% of my time spent on reddit over the last 12 years would be through RiF. I'm sad too, man. Lemmy seems pretty cool though
