Apollo was big in the headlines because its developer was the most vocal about the API changes.

As for why people used third-party apps, it's mostly a preference thing. Something to note is that reddit didn't always have an official app. Everyone using reddit before 2016 had to use a third-party app if they wanted to use reddit on their phone. A lot of the apps we watched get shut down, especially the ones on android (RiF, Sync, BaconReader, etc) have been around for a long time, and had loyal user bases.

Apollo was younger than the official app, but it was likely favored by those who had used Alien Blue (a very popular third-party app for iOS that was bought by Reddit and turned into the official app)

Ah, so only two of the three branches of government are subject to checks and balances?

I've been surprised that some western countries have laws like this. A French woman has also been fined for insulting Macron.

This is the case for every country. You just see it with the US a lot more since it of course has the biggest footprint on the English-language side of the internet.

I'm gonna be honest. I don't see anything wrong with this. I know the majority of us are just coming off some corporate bullshit from reddit, but I don't think it's wrong to not let your very expensive to maintain service be used for free without ads.

I promise that I'm not trying to suck a billionaire's cock when I say that I marvel in awe at YouTube's ability to input and output such astronomical amount of data at any given time, without any complaints.

Connect is pretty damn good, and I have no qualms about having to depend on it for the next several weeks. Too bad for it that my loyalties lie elsewhere.

There is a feeling of loyalty. Sync was a mainstay on my phone for close to a decade.

Even on reddit, r/usa was tiny. We kinda just exist everywhere and wrongfully assume everyone is us, so we don't tend to feel the need for a special community. Lol

Tankies have an incredibly black and white view of the world. Anyone that isn't with them is a fascist. It's also why they can't accept that their favorite authoritarians have practiced imperialism, oppression of minority groups, and lots of killing. "Stalin believed in the same economic policy that I do, so therefore he never did a bad thing."

Most of us are here because we used Sync for Reddit for years and want that familiar UX.

C# doesn't have a big spotlight on it like Rust or Python, but it is a popular and very unhated language. It's a good language that is regularly improving and has phenomenal documentation. Seriously, I've not gone to Stack Overflow for anything C# (outside of third-party libraries) for years; Microsoft's documentation gives me everything I need.

You beautiful bastard. I'm so ready to be back in Sync's familiar UI.
