I bought the wallpapers to support Christian and had a really emotional evening.
When the blackout started I joined Lemmy and started to stop using Reddit to show my support by not producing any traffic.
On the last day I opened up apollo again and it was so terrifying, knowing the way I used Reddit for years will be gone. I used PDS but will wait with the deletion of my accounts to be safe that Reddit doesn’t restore my comments.
I still keep my fingers crossed that Christian will make an Apollo App for Lemmy, but I can totally understand the he got other things to do.
Just remember, he got called out from Spez and one of his income sources just disappeared because a business partner just wanted to fuck him up. I hope his friends and family will be there for him.
BTW: Made a little fan icon. Just for the dreams.
Have you tried wefwef? I’m also coming from Apollo and finding it very familiar :)
I wish I knew about wefwef sooner I don’t know how I can transfer my data from Apollo now
I never used Apollo (I'm an Android user) but I tried wefwef for the first time today and I'm surprised at how natural it feels. If this is what Apollo was like I'm sad I didn't get a chance to experience it.
Same here I never really got into reddit until I found an app that I actually enjoyed browsing on…. Apollo
Is that what Apollo was like? I'm an android user, so never actually used Apollo. The sliding to vote, collapse, and reply is kinda neat (if perhaps not very obvious at first -- I saw a comment mention it, which is the main reason I even knew it was there).
