I just would like to thank the CEOs of Twitter and Reddit for helping to kill my doom scrolling addiction.
- rswail 3y agoI will miss using Apollo, which is one of the best apps on my phone. It works well, complies with all of Apple's HIG rules, and is supported by an enthusiastic and communicative developer. Reddit management are incompetent fools that are looking for the VC cashout of an IPO before the site goes to shit. Cory Doctorow's concept of "enshittification" continues to become more and more prescient of the last few years of internet "development".
- klabb3 3y agoI’m disappointed for the same reasons as everyone else. But there’s definitely a silver lining here. Relying on a corporation for community was never a good idea, and that Reddit’s relative insulation was nothing but an aberration. Recent events is no more than a delayed affirmation of enshittification theory. And the good news is the sooner we collectively realize that the root cause is the business model, the sooner we can fix the problem.
- yreg 3y agoApollo followed Apple design language better than the first party apps.
- aSockPuppeteer 3y agoTrue. When I search for things though, the answers I seek are on Reddit. I’ll look into the archive or Reddit backup of deleted posts sometime but for now I go by the preview search showing me a couple lines of the top answer.
