Adding my farewell to RIF. It served me well for many years. Sad to see it go. Thank you to everyone behind the app (if you ever read this). You were there when I was bored, sick, or needed answers.

Well done.

Let the brain drain of Reddit begin. They've got what's coming to them - a mass exodus of the power users and a slow deterioration of quality OC.

I did legitimately try the official app a long time ago, and all I could think is 'why would I bother with this when RIF is so much better put together. It's weird seeing this app go out. Maybe I'll leave the RIF up on my screen as a memorial.

Reddit really was fun, I remember the time when meeting a redditor in the wild felt like such a coincedence because of how niche it was. Now I get to experience that and I am strangely excited for it!

According to the Apollo dev (u/iamthatis on /r/), they invalidated his API connection early, so I would guess RiF had the same thing happen. Funny spez couldn't wait a few more hours to risk being taken at his word on at least one thing...
