Looking forward to the Reddit blackout. Hopefully a bunch of new instances pop up and gain traction

      Agreed. This is depressing as hell. Apollo is a joy to use. There are so many niche communities on Reddit that I enjoy, and even if Lemmy or other federated things like it take off, those communities are largely going to die. This is a tragedy, no matter how you look at it. We are losing.

        I also agree, that it is extraordinarily sad to say goodbye to my top used app (RiF); but I would say even sadder still is Reddit’s decisions proving how little they value their user base.

        I, myself, was likely not a high value user; but the way Reddit is treating its mod teams who have spent countless hours performing a relatively thankless job for free, is simply egregious.
