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.

And with it goes me using Reddit, too. The official app is just sooooo bad and I barely check Reddit on my computer.

The comments from FlyingLaserTurtle in particular were just AWFUL. Just straight up gaslighting.

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?

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.

Poor Christian. Would be cool if he developed Apollo for lemmy.

I mean. That announcement might’ve convinced me to delete my account over there and dive in completely to Beehaw.

It might’ve done that 😉

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:

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.

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!

Sync for reddit also confirmed to shut down

I'll use rif until the last day, but i've been spending much more of that time on reddit here, and less time on social media in general.

I'm honestly, sad for the developers who can no longer afford to keep their passion projects going, that's awful and fuck reddit for that. But personally, this is such a positive change I need in my life as a consumer of social media.
