A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Holy shit. I just loaded up the op from the apolo sub and read through it. Then i made the mistake of attempting to read the comments. Absolutely impossible. Its like opening a flood gate and letting the ocean poor in!
And with it goes me using Reddit, too. The official app is just sooooo bad and I barely check Reddit on my computer.
That was the final straw for me too. Currently purging all my accounts from Reddit now. I look forward to being a part of this community.
If rif also shuts down i won't use reddit on mobile any longer.
RIF have announced they will shut down on the 30th too. No word from BaconReader yet (my time wasting app of choice) but I'm guessing they'll go down as well. Such a sad situation all round.
The unfortunate underlying issue is the API pricing is by and large not sustainable. Even if a third-party application has not announced they cannot continue operations, the lack of announcement does not mean they plan to or continue. I can see the want of biding time and waiting in this circumstance, but ultimately I don't see any third-party application staying active in an above-board manner if the API pricing is launched as is.
Apollo, RIF, and Sync announcing they are shuttering adds additional pressure to the matter.
First Tweetbot and now Apollo… Two apps that shaped my interaction on their respective platforms. Sucks….
Much like the rest of you, I’m investing myself to Lemmy and giving Reddit the finger. Assholes.
I'm not aware of any third party app trying to make the API pricing work. RIF and Red Reader are shutting down as well.

In case anyone wants to delete all their reddit comment and posts before leaving, I used this nice little product that did it automatically for me:
My account is 17 years old, I wonder if it'd work with it or if it'd be limited to the last 1000 messages as I've seen as a normal API limitation
I had over 1k comments removed without any problems
Oh i have WAY beyond 1K comments, what's why i'm unsure
This was the final nail for me. I'm moving over to Lemmy full time and will be nuking my reddit account soon.
Anyone know what the best way to delete all reddit comments and posts is?
