Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/ https://mastodon.social/@christianselig/110509739563895220

I know this is a wildly silly take on my part, but his post brought a little tear to my eye. It's a fantastic app, a genuine pleasure to use, and they're doing him so dirty. They spoke to him over the phone then lied and mischaracterized his statements after the fact, but because he's a sharp one he recorded the calls and has the receipts. I feel pretty bad for the guy.

Plus it's so weird to see a site that's been a big part of my life dying. I've made good irl friends on it, experienced major news events through it, etc. Feels bad, man.

@peachykeen of course 🙄. They are trying to save face now. I predict it will be full of a bunch of BS excuses about how they had to do this and that it’s a fair pricing for the service blah blah blah 🙄. I hope it’s a bloodbath and I hope they are run out of that AMA. #reddit #apollo #redditapi

We really need a reddit switch like we have the nsfw switch.
