Ex-Apollo/Reddit 10+ years here. I really can’t understand why they didn’t offer API users the ability to pay for the add-free access they were afforded by their apps (if that’s what it was supposed to be about). Did they really think that they could force people to use the dumpster-fire that is the official Reddit app? ..at the cost of losing a significant, or at least active, percentage of their user base? That’s insane.
I haven’t logged in to my Reddit account since and I no longer visit old.reddit.com.
Appreciate going cold turkey isn’t for everyone, but … fuck it. When social media companies stop allowing you to view their content in the way you enjoy, it should tell you how valued you are by them.
I tried clearing my Memmy for Lemmy (iOS) cache but I still couldn’t log in. Removed and reinstalled the app (no trouble) and I can log in again. (Just had to re-do my preferences - again, just a minute or so).
And I want a printer that can accept sandwiches and uses ketchup instead of ink
