Am I crazy, or Infinity still works for me? (lemmy.ml)

I wasn't expecting it to work, but I didn't uninstall the app just in case Reddit backtracks or something. I checked and my front-page loads like normal. Does that mean that Reddit gave up? I didn't pay infinity at all...

That's both noble and sad at the same time.

I love(d) Infinity, but Reddit has shown their true colors and the dev is knowingly getting into an abusive relationship. Even with the subscription model, most of that is going to Reddit and not the dev team.

I wish them the best, but I don't see how this is going to end well. Hope they come to their senses before losing too much money and would love to see Infinity for Lemmy.

I don't think it's a case of unknowingly going into an abusive relationship with Reddit, I think it's a case of not having a day job, and therefore being unable to just quit Reddit cold turkey. I don't know for sure, but I would be surprised if any 3PA dev trusts Reddit at this point.
