Fuck Reddit, but you guys are just looking for shit at this point. It’s an app icon who cares

This is kind of like going thru your ex's social media and making fun of her new bf. Just get over it already. We're not on reddit anymore for a good reason.

Apollo icons were the gold standard.

In what other situation like this is the original hidden behind a paywall?

They’re coming up with bullshit to help sell their company on IPO with higher revenue. Lmao 🤣

If you have to use reddit on your iphone, use Narwhal instead of the privacy-data hungry official crapp.

Did they rip that off of Apollo or were custom app icons a thing before?
