I did not use Apollo. I used the alien blue / official Reddit app. It’s not the best Reddit client out out there. The thing that annoyed me the most is the toxic masculinity and the deterioration of subreddits in the last few months. I don’t know the challenges that mods face with regards to api changes, but the line for me is when spez talked about musk and twitter. I mean, I left twitter almost a month into acquisition as things got very toxic and inflamed. I have a suspicion Reddit will go into a slow death spiral with content being just reposts from tik tok(which was already happening).

At the end of the day, I find lemmy a bit more palatable for two reasons, it’s slow moving and there is quality content, and not just some staged videos from tik tok. If I wanted to see tik toks I’ll be in TikTok.

I mean we have money for that. Not just for social services, cause that will set the wrong incentive /s

I mean, it’s well known by this point. But a “seconds from disaster” version of it would be interesting to watch as disaster porn.

Just to clarify, the lack of alternatives creates a vaccine creating an almost defacto win for Modi et all. that's the part of democracy collapsing

Of course not. India used to be secular. the far right Hindu extremism is taking over. Also it's so good to be able to post this and not be trolled by pro Modi trolls. The amount of concentration of power due to lack of alternatives is so scary.

PS: I'm an Indian who now lives in Australia.

Let’s just bet on a replacement for Reddit. It has run its course.

Done my bit, started with a 5 dollar donation, monthly!

Highly recommend it. Been using it for the last few days and it’s been stable!!

Also this comment was posted from the app!

FYI I have been using the app Mlem that works with Lemmy on iOS! It’s clean, looks very much like Apollo and very reliable. Highly recommend it.

It’s past 30% now.

[–] kunday@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

I honestly thought this would reduce my screen time as Reddit is on the top of the list. But here I am at Lemmy lol.
