Well, looks like Reddit pulled the plug a little early. Apollo started crashing, but I just manually revoked my token and it looks like it fixes the crashing, but no more Reddit access haha. Those folks are fun to the very end! 😛

Just one last shitty surprise from Spez.

      I know, I keep seeing this tonight. “They didn’t even wait until midnight.”

      Yes, they did. It just wasn’t your midnight.

          You do these things when engineers are still in the office.

            Lol, killing access like this is the push of a button. Literally can be scheduled.

        It’s not even reddit in some cases. Some of the apps did it on their own. Boost is still working for me, RIF is not.

    Middle of a Friday evening here in the US. Not a bad move on his part, a good chunk of the userbase is out drinking.

      I think the opposite - it was a dumb move on his part because people now have the weekend to learn about and get used to lemmy. People getting off work and discovering their reddit apps are dead will probably look for alternatives.

        This exactly. Deleted RIF (was like putting down a beloved pet) and went in on trying to access the Thunder app like a madman. Between having Lemmy on mobile as well as right here, at home… I’m set. Almost want to thank Spez for pushing us off the roof of a burning building only to land on the ground floor of something new and potentially even better than Reddit

            Yo! In all honesty I’ve been using Connect a lot more as of late. It has more of the RiF vibe about it. A lot of people are hyping up the upcoming Boost for Lemmy, so I’ll check that one out when it releases too!

      yeah I got off around 6:30pm EST and my Apollo wouldn’t load, constantly crash. It opens now, but nothing loads. It’s dead and gone. Actually surprised me spez would pull it early. Fuck Spez

    I think it started July 1st, GMT. So, for instance, that would be 8pm EST for me here.
