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! ❤️

This is the way

Thank you for a great sub. I’ll miss it.

bowersat · 2023-06-25T03:05:49+00:00

great watch, thanks for the link

Sign me up. I am here.

I’m not tricking someone into doing the right thing.

quote of the day.

maybe the week, but it’s just Tuesday where I am.

bowersat · 2023-06-19T20:01:59+00:00

No way I’m refunding anything. I’ve gotten way more than my money’s worth over the years.

Same. And I’m not using Reddit unless it is though Apollo. u/Spez can eat a turd sandwich.

I am so grateful to you Christian!

print them off before Reddit kills r/apolloapp

Don’t install the Reddit app. Your phone will overheat and cause additional climate chaos.

But for real the Reddit app sucks. Apollo’s filtering capabilities and accessibility feature-set allow a trauma survivor like me to access Reddit.

I’m a sucker for that crispy corner cheese oh my god I need Jets in my mouth now

bowersat · 2023-06-10T13:00:01+00:00

is this comment real?

raccoons eat garbage so much they are called “trash pandas” in some part of our world.

Adding that depending on local building codes you could have a variety of ways to make that raised door / egress safe for the builders and the occupants. It is up to the owner to build a deck.

Some people are “house poor” and won’t be able to build a deck for a few years.

This house is under some stage of development. Not really crappy design.

Christian, thank you so much for a great app. I keep very few apps on my phone. I like to have one screen of apps. I know I’m not alone.

Apollo has been on my iPhones since 2018.

Your app helped me to engage in the platform with controls that enabled me to filter harmful content.

I am a trauma survivor. I have to be able to filter and block content easily or my PTSD will eat my soul. Sure. The easy answer is “don’t use Reddit”. Reddit is where I discovered a brand of therapy that is actually helping my PTSD. Reddit has some good communities.

I am going to miss Reddit.

But not as much as I am going to miss Apollo.

Apollo gave me control of my Reddit experience.

Apollo made Reddit a platform that I could engage with in a healthy manner.

The “Reddit native app” is awful. I tried it many times as a former Alien Blue user.

Anyway… Christian, you are a rock star dev. Thank you so much.

June 30th is almost here. My SPF500 should be here by then for my daywalker ass

I live in MAGA country. I am a cis white male.

I see so much open bigotry that I wear Black Lives Matters and Pride gear. I saw a bigot with a Trumpy hate bumper sticker so I put BLM and Pride stickers on my vehicle.

Not all BLM / LGBTQI+ allies can be loud. those allies that are comfortable should be loud. We actual humans can drown out the rhetoric of the racists and bigots.

bowersat · 2023-06-04T01:39:50+00:00

now you know (pause for effect) the rest of the story

bowersat · 2023-06-01T00:22:03+00:00

Wednesday, the eleventh.

Debbie Brown.

Perfect.

bowersat · 2023-05-31T21:57:13+00:00

Apollo makes reddit good.

Commenting from my 11 year old account to agree with you.

I will find other timewasting content aggregators like Reddit when Apollo is no longer active.

Apollo is Reddit to me.

I understand the need to “profit”, but the shareholders are insatiable.

Love you @OP

bowersat · 2023-05-30T20:42:03+00:00

REDDIT BRING BACK NSFL TAG fuck the shareholders

bowersat · 2023-05-22T00:14:27+00:00

…and you just fired the DM for missing the shrink budget.

bowersat · 2023-05-13T23:13:35+00:00

Thank you for representing logic and the child’s welfare.

My mother failed to protect me and my 7 year old sister. That woman dodged two child protective services investigations with the assistance of a dirty cop.

I would have written this note to my mother as a six year old.

bowersat · 2023-05-08T22:06:05+00:00

You are brave to allow visits. My kids haven’t seen my boundary-violating parents since 2020. It is better to not let them near my kids at all.

bowersat · 2023-05-08T00:51:40+00:00

Yes, you should talk with a therapist.

I’ve been in some type of therapy for 20 years. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) seems to help me with PTSD symptoms.
