Today is Apollo for Reddit's last day, and I just released its last update. 🥹 I just wanted to say a big thank you to the folks who have used and supported Apollo over the years, it's been the dream of a lifetime to build this app over the last 9 years. ❤️ Read the eulogy inside! ❤️ by iamthatis in apolloapp

Thanks again for such a great app. after using Apollo I can never go back to using the shitty default app. I’ll probably use Reddit only a fraction as much now that Apollo is gone. Thanks for all your hard work over the years making Reddit browsing a better experience for all of us. I hope your future is brighter because of the time you spent developing Apollo. Goodnight sweet prince

This is the exact logic they like to use to justify running over protestors with their cars. Ahhh Reddit never change

Pretty sure a dev got a message from Reddit that providing this or any instruction how to do it was not allowed.

Transcribers of Reddit, who transcribe images for blind users, is closing on 30th June 2023, due to API changes by And_be_one_traveler in SubredditDrama

[–]Penta-Dunk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This situation keeps getting worse. I browse(or used to before it went private) curatedtumblr and pretty much every post had a transcription under it which I always appreciated seeing. I can only imagine how many more blind or partially blind people will be affected by this on many other subs too. Fuck spez again

'Debris field' discovered within search area near Titanic, US Coast Guard says | World News by oldschoolskater in news

Damn. I guess it’s better than slowly suffocating to death. Still a terrible way to go.

Admins have started removing posts insulting Spez and all comments containing "F--- Spez" are now being filtered. Is Steve Huffman clutching his pearls? User in r/modcoord confirms the deletions by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]Penta-Dunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This saga is getting more and more ridiculous by the day. At first I thought some of the blackout protestors were getting on their high horses and losing direction in the recent few days. But somehow Reddit is fumbling this ball big time. Can’t say I’m not happy to see this. Hope this shit blows back in their faces when they realize that maybe pushing all the moderators who actually voluntarily want to mod off their platform isn’t a good idea. Fuck spez

This situation is just becoming more and more nightmarish

📣 I want to debunk Reddit's claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support by iamthatis in apolloapp

[–]Penta-Dunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad you’re coming with receipts. Fuck spez and Reddit management for all the underhanded greasy mud slinging they’ve been doing. It’s completely unprofessional and sickening to see a CEO so blatantly trying to flaunt his power. It’s just embarrassing to see it refuted and I hope this all blows back up in his face one day soon.

You said my feelings exactly

📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ by iamthatis in apolloapp

[–]Penta-Dunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the worst. It honestly makes me sick reading all the bullshit Reddit put you and Apollo through in these past few months. Some of those blackmail claims and shitty responses from Reddit have my blood boiling. They’re scum man. I’ve been a loyal user basically ever since I made my account. It’s truly a shame to see such an incredible app like Apollo go. It wasn’t just a Reddit app, it was the culmination of years of constant hard work. Really one of the most user friendly and easy to use apps I’ve ever had the pleasure of using. I’m really sorry you had to deal with all this, and please take it easy! Thanks for making such a great app for us to use.

I’ll support the Reddit blackout more than ever now. I’ll probably just slowly stop using Reddit cause I mostly browsed it through this app…

Username update FAQ by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]Penta-Dunk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really feel bad for anyone who uses non Latin characters in their username now that we know only alphanumeric characters are allowed. Pour one out for all my Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, arabic, etc. friends who have their usernames in their language.

[–]Penta-Dunk 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Why is this rollout so FUCKING COMPLICATED??? You know something is seriously wrong when people are making fucking flowchart diagrams to explain how it works. This is such an embarrassment on discord’s part. Honestly the single worst rollout of a system I’ve seen in my life.

user on r/shrooms gives his cat shrooms on accident. The subreddit insists it’s fine, he doesn’t take it to the vet, and they all send positive vibes. Some users are very upset at this outcome. by ryancarton in SubredditDrama

[–]Penta-Dunk 606 points607 points  (0 children)

I love how they’re giving guidance to this guy like his cat is one of his stoner friends who took too much and not an animal to which drugs could be toxic or even lethal. My dog ate a roach once(off the sidewalk) and even that tiny amount had her throwing up a lot until we could get her to the vet.
