I made the PC I couldn't buy - New Vid on Christian's YT Channel
Starting my day with a fresh dose of anger and resentment over #reddit selling out one year ago, attacking its community, degrading its value as a platform, and destroying the trust of its users. All to cash in on the AI bubble and monetize the free labor of its users.
I quit reddit last year when #ApolloApp shut down. I was a regular user and contributor for over ten years by then. Reddit was my primary source of news, discussion, and entertainment. I met people on reddit who had a direct, profound impact on me irl. Most importantly, I believe reddit's left-leaning communities saved me from falling into the alt-right pipeline as a younger man. It meant a lot to me over the years.
And they just... tore it all down to make a quick buck.
Ugh. At least y'all on Mastodon are great. That's the one silver lining to this, that I found my way here after leaving reddit. Thanks for being great.

Remember the #Reddit Blackout of 2023? Reddark was a site that kept track of the status of subreddits, and it was honestly exciting to check in its heyday.
The last update before it stopped displaying info was mid-January 2024. Nearly all subs have gone back to their original status.

I miss #ApolloApp, stopped reading Reddit for a bit, but then begrudgingly switched to the official app. Over time, I got used to it, ads and all.
...
I'm part of the problem, aren't I?
@Gazimoff I quit reddit over the greed associated to the API changes and killing off of 3rd party apps (ahem, #apolloapp) Sadly I haven’t found anything remotely as useful. I can’t stomach Lemmy die to the dev politics and Kbin, while showing potential, is still to lacking in its content. Content for any of them will take time.
I don’t care if it’s been half a year. I still miss the dev beep tone for notifications from #ApolloApp
A fantastic app that is still alive with some tweaks!

Thank you @christianselig for a fantastic app even though the app is locked in time.

Lemmy's app Voyager is great! It's so much like Apollo. Not as polished, but it works well. Will be donating.
@ellane And how will you ever know if any company is a long term player in the cloud storage space? Answer: you can’t. The only sure thing is that you dropped cold hard cash on some online thing based on history, not a crystal ball. Which is the reason I didn’t drop $120 on Koofr despite the mostly good reviews. Tomorrow they could get bought out and cease operations.
I’m sure everyone that paid money for #ApolloApp can relate.
When I pay, I want a thing. And I don’t want to “rent” it either.
Are you kidding me? Either quit posting updates for it or else let the very next update be the ability to use a custom API key so it can get back to actually working again. #apollo #apolloapp
they killed off @christianselig 's #ApolloApp just so they could make us look at *this* 😭
Biggest thing I miss since #ApolloApp shut down is my ‘happy place’ multireddit.
It was only stuff like cute or funny animals, art, photography, etc. And since content in #Reddit communities is (was?) moderated quite rigorously, I *knew* that it would only be happy stuff.
It was a great way to take a break from the world yet still scroll the internet. Sigh.
If you’re looking for a great #Lemmy experience that feels similar to #ApolloApp on iOS, give Voyager a look!

@michaelflanagan #Memmy for #Lemmy. It’s #opensource and buildable from GitHub. It has a clean look and feel. Not quite #ApolloApp, but close enough for me. All Lemmy clients still have some rough edges, but Memmy has had frequent TestFlight releases and is now on the App Store.

what is the sekrit word, Christian?? @christianselig #Apollo #ApolloApp
Boy, for a dead app, #ApolloApp sure is getting an unexpected number of updates..
I wonder how much longer it’ll be before the Siri Suggestions widget stops recommending #ApolloApp.
It seems to still be a pretty consistent app in the list for me.
I keep opening Apollo out of habit and each time disappointed.
Already annoyed that I have to use Reddit’s app… heard it wasn’t the best (especially coming from the excellent #apolloapp. )Trying to login, and I can’t even get past the 2FA screen. No keyboard to type in the numbers. Great start #reddit.
Using Narwhal after Apollo is really a another level but the official Reddit app is still too bad. #reddit #apolloapp
