This was the last push i needed to actually move on from reddit. Now i'll finally be able to retrain my muscle memory to open kbin instead of RIF when i sit on the toilet.
I keep saying it but this is more emotional than I would have thought. It's an end to an era. And RIF and the other apps helped us all connect, laugh, cry, vent, argue, meme and stuff together. The app devs were as much responsible for the success and entertainment of reddit as reddit itself. It's a weird.
I think I started on iPhone 3, if that's possible. Alien blue sounds too familiar to me and I think I read it was iOS. Means I've been around longer than the 10 years on rif, if my memory is correct. End of the day it's a damn shame, greed everywhere you look, amazing how one person or a few can affect thousands so easily.
I've been on reddit for 13 years, and have used rif for 12. Maybe the most used app I've ever had, was always a staple download whenever getting a new device. Just a damn shame this is happening.
That being said, this is my first post on kbin. Here's to hoping this community can grow and we can collectively move on from reddit's mess as it withers away from their pride and greed.
Maybe all the new people to Reddit that dgaf about the people behind the content will just stay on actual Reddit and we will get the better groups?
I hope so. I'm excited to see how the fediverse will grow and like you expect that the quality of our communities to be maybe a bit better than those that decide to stick with reddit. I'm going to miss the smaller niche subs I was a part of until we can have them grow over here.
