Laughing. My. Mother. Fucking. Ass. Off.

All they had to do was say, “ok, third party apps can stay for premium users only” and I’d probably have Reddit premium now. Instead I deleted my ten plus year old account along with all my posts that weren’t mod announcements (so only two didn’t get deleted).

Instead I’ve fucked right on off to Kbin and Lemmy and all is well. Fuck Reddit and MOTHERFUCK Steve Huffman the stupid pig boy.

Same. I used to pay for premium even though I was an Apollo user. I paid because I liked Reddit and thought it brought me value.

Now I’m only keeping my account to ensure my posts and comments stay dead as best as I can.
