I used Reddit for 12 years, which granted, isn't as long as some others, but it is really sad to see what it has become after all these years. It helped a lot back in the day, but now it is time to let it go.

it was sad for me too. I haven't looked back since they banned 3rd party apps, it was time to let it go

Since they killed RIF, in the shittest way possible, my usage went down significantly. I still miss RIF

I don't use it out of hate towards the official app... I will never download it, I deleted my account also

A lot of the apps now support Lemmy. I'm using boost and it's basically like nothing has changed.

The third party app ban was doubly stupid because not only did it piss people off but then they replaced all of those apps with something that didn't work properly. Even if you didn't care about third party apps all that much you cared that the only option you now had was terrible.

I hopped on Reddit the week before the Digg migration happened. I'm not sure how I really took in the Internet before that (lolcats and wimp mostly), but I remember nearly the exact moment it happened. I'd never heard of Digg before that. I'd barely heard of Reddit.

It's not the same as it was back then, and I'm very happy to be done with it. Fuck spez/Steve Huffman, that piece of shit burned everything to the ground to enrich himself and piss on the community.

Same. It's a part of life though. At least as long as we're living in a capitalist nightmare.
