After Apollo, RIF is also going to shut down.
Its a strange time.
RIP RiF. Good app.
That’s why I’m here. I like this place so far though!
Sync is also going down. I hope that the blackout will have some impact on the execs, but I’m not expecting anything real to come.
Even if reddit reverses any of their pricing plans following the blackout, I think that’s it for at least some of the apps that already announced their shutting down. You just can’t run a business (or even volunteer lots of your personal time) if reddit has already shown, that you and your product mean nothing to them and they are willing to alienate their most passionate users with a mere 30 days lead time.
RIF was the only way i accessed reddit. That means i’m out for good. I’ll miss subreddits like ‘DataIsBeautiful’ or ‘RetroFuturism’ and i’m still not 100% fluent in Lemmy but… there’s literally no way back now.
