After a month of outrage, protests, and unrest from the community, Reddit has finally flipped the switch to shut down some third-party apps, including Apollo, Sync, and BaconReader.

Confirmed Slide no longer works either and unistalled it from my phone. So long reddit, it was fun (but utimately misguided of me to invest time/attention towards it).

Hello Lemmy, you hot new thing!

Left yesterday as well, deleted Apollo off my phone and then immediately deleted my Reddit account.

I have been a user since the beginning almost and am sad to see its decline - especially so rapidly in the past few years.

Looking forward to the new community.

lol left as well, deleted all submissions and then replaced every single one of my comments with a hardy "fuck /u/spez" before deleting my account. gotta take our content with us on the way out, it's the only thing reddit has to monetize.

I'm about to delete my Lemmy account, because I'm a pessimistic hipster.

Deleting your Lemmy account is conformity. Don't be a sell out. /s
