I really almost cried. So dramatic but fuck I'm sad. It was like an hour after I told him it's my last day on reddit.

Thank y'all so much for the years of good times and thanks to this community for welcoming us with such warmth.

Onwards and upwards 💖

the subreddits for all the third party apps shutting down are filled with people saying goodbye to those communities. it does sound dramatic for something happening entirely online but it's genuinely kinda moving to read all the posts

I was on Apollo and just opened the app to download my JSON file when it closed.

I had just got off work and was ready to enjoy my last few minutes of scrolling when it went dark.. I shed a few tears.
