For me it's simple: no sync, no reddit.

I'm never going to use their app.

rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.

When I read that I was astonished.

He literally threw free money away... for what exactly?

[–] asukii@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wait, what? First I'm hearing of that, do you have a link where I could read more?

[–] FloridaMan@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.

Too bad we don't get userids so we could boast about our low-digit uid for extra cred, like back in the Slashdot days (low 5-digit Slashdot user here :p)

The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.

Yeah, I switched from RedReader to Slide to Infinity, never even considered the official Reddit app, it's so slow and there's so much ad there.

[–] coralof@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I went from Slide to Apollo. When I heard about the API news, I tried out their official app, and it was just horrible. There were even ads in the comments!

[–] LouieTheLab@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely. No Infinity, no Reddit. Lemmy, kbin, others. Reddit can go jump. Exciting times!

Damn, nearly forgot - fuck spez.
