It’s a good bet. Breaking habits is hard, but removing some people’s preferred way of using Reddit forces them to go cold turkey. It’s a great opportunity for all the alternatives.
Too bad we don’t get userids so we could boast about our low-digit uid for extra cred, like back in the Slashdot days (low 5-digit Slashdot user here :p)
I went from Slide to Apollo. When I heard about the API news, I tried out their official app, and it was just horrible. There were even ads in the comments!
Hopefully there’s another wave of power users moving to Lemmy/Kbin after the 30th.

For me it’s simple: no sync, no reddit.
I’m never going to use their app.
rif for me. but yeah especially after finding out there was a profit sharing agreement in place that spaz cancelled.
When I read that I was astonished.
He literally threw free money away… for what exactly?
Wait, what? First I’m hearing of that, do you have a link where I could read more?
Same. Plus not many people here yet so I got a sweet username.

The bragging rights of a 4 or 5 number ICQ user.
Definitely. No Infinity, no Reddit. Lemmy, kbin, others. Reddit can go jump. Exciting times!
Damn, nearly forgot - fuck spez.
Yeah, I switched from RedReader to Slide to Infinity, never even considered the official Reddit app, it’s so slow and there’s so much ad there.
