I had to look this up, couldn't believe it. I've been pretty indifferent to Musk and Twitter...cause I've been always indifferent to Twitter, but this is crazy. As an example, my city's police and bus services and others all use Twitter to send updates out. And I'm sure it's the same for most places. And now they've essentially lost the ability to mass communicate with people, because they need to be able to reach everyone not just those with an account.

The 429 error message would not clear from my screen; I had to reset my phone. I'm pretty sure that's first bug I ever encountered with RiF, and I used it for about a decade.

@talklittle thank you for all those years of an amazing app.

It's a little disgusting, but completely in character, for Reddit to leech off those apps for over a decade and then stab them in the back.

And by leech, I mean I question whether Reddit would have grown as much as it did without the 3rd-party apps. Hardly anyone uses Reddit desktop.

... it's probably a good thing that I don't have Reddit on my phone now, to be honest, just wish it hadn't happened this way.
