End of an era for sure.
Glad to be a part of Kbin going forward.

Feels weird after all these years.

I'm excited about the fediverse though!

F to pay respect

soratoyuki,

I don't know why, but I'm still in shock it actually happened. RIF is the only way I've ever used Reddit. Spez is burning down one of the best and most informative communities just to up his future net worth a few percentage points. It's disgusting.

PenguinJuice,

What really confounds me is how he can confuse creating infrastructure for creativity and information sharing with having any actual value? Lol. The dude is a fucking nitwit. Full stop.

Jcb2016,

Reddit is gonna burn hard and we are all here for it u/spez is gonna face the music once and for all and we are all here for it!

He was always there to take the flak anyway. He is now past his usefulness as far as the investors are concerned. he'll be jettisoned.

aluminiumsandworm,

o7 rip to the primary way i used reddit for over 10 years

The best app :(

Fun side effect if I accidentally click a reddit link from Google or whatever, it opens the app to an empty screen instead of giving reddit traffic! I'll keep it installed as a free blacklist tool 🤣

Thaidakar,

Ha! Great idea, think I'll do the same

kerplunk,

Was in the middle of deleting all of my post history using RIF when it stopped working. Had to finish up on a browser, sadly.

DeadEnd,

RIF was Reddit for me, sad to see it end like this. But excited to see where this goes.

Same with Sync. The dev is working on a Lemmy app, but I'm not convinced it can replace Reddit.

On e Reddit IPOs wallstreet will kill anything left over. They were already trying to push a bunch of shit no one wanted.

wsb is already salivating to short reddit's IPO. I'm thinking I might get in on that, too.

I'm still kinda in shock that it actually happened. Well, that's legitimately the end of the road for me on Reddit. I was on there for 12 years, and the majority of it was using RiF. Gg Spez, moron.

elscallr,
@elscallr@kbin.social avatar

I was high on the hopium that they'd eventually show some flex too

zarbthebard,

Feels weird man, used that app for years and now it's gone.

I can't bring myself to delete it

Same

It was my favorite Reddit app for many years. But the fun is now over.

RIP RiF! Thanks for all the fun!

Welcome. It's gonna take everyone's effort to make KBIN fun. Upload content daily, and interact with other people's content that you have something to say about. It's gonna take effort from all of us.

@pirategoddess@kbin.social avatar

Hopefully we can get a mobile client soon as well, because then I think it'll really take off.

Chozo,

I've been gently hounding the RIF dev to see if he'll make a Kbin app, lol. Here's to hoping!

ViperB5,

The problem the kbin has right now though is that it's so new I don't think an API exists yet. Even if it did, development is happening so rapidly that by the time you hammered out your app the API may have changed several times.

We will eventually get our app, but kbin needs to grow as a website a little bit first.

There's one in the works called Artemis

@aidan@kbin.social avatar

Yeah I keep wishing I could see this in the Apollo UI

EnderWi99in,

We need to quickly move past Reddit. We cannot be consumed by it or we will repel newcomers. This needs to become it's own special place with it's own character. It'll take time. Be patient.

wagesj45,
@wagesj45@kbin.social avatar

Reddit is the big news right now. It is unrealistic to expect people to just forget it and ignore it. Same thing happened with the initial Digg migration to Reddit all those years ago. Once Reddit stops being news because it failed or things went back to normal, then we'll stop talking about it.

zurohki,

Okay, but for now all the “RIP Reddit” posts give migrating Reddit users a feeling of, “So this is where the other people like me went.”
