I just wanted to support the moderators who the Reddit CEO, et al, treated SO disrespectfully considering the amount of free labor moderators gave and the amount of grief they had to deal with.

I didn't even know about 3rd party apps before this all went down. I just used Reddit (for 11+ years) on my laptop, never on my phone.

No, Reddit's not going to disappear right away, but without the moderators and users, quality content will.

Edit to say: 1st post on Lemmy!
