Also, here's the list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
For iOS, I'm currently testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I'm testing Jerboa. What's everyone's favorite lemmy app so far?
Narwhal user and I cut the cord on the day the protests started. I just wanted to pull the band-aid off and move on. I was holding out hope that Reddit would reverse course, but it was pretty clear from their actions since then that that’s not happening. 6/30 was the original date I gave myself to delete posts/comments/accounts, so I’m scorched earth this Friday.
I also originally thought I’d stick things out on Apollo until the 30th, and get last use out of the app, but after the admin interaction with iamthatis where they told him his app was inefficient but also refused to explain how (real “it’s not my job to educate you” hours) and then the spez AMA, I dipped. Edited and deleted my history. Account still exists because it’s a point of contact for some people doing website things, but that will go away once I get those people messaging my email.
I can’t go back to browsing Reddit after seeing how terribly they interacted with iamthatis, and with the community.
Where did you go when the protests started? I remember this place was barren a couple weeks ago.
Not commenter, but I'm going to barge in - I literally went and touched grass. A week away from social media and reduced computer time. By the time I returned, the Lemmyverse was popping off.
