I stepped away from Reddit after Apollo shut down in part out of spite and to stand against the crap from Reddit but mostly because Apollo made Reddit usable.

I’ve been using WefWef to browse Lemmy and it feels so perfectly familiar. Makes me very happy.

Same. Just starting out but it already feels like home.

Never used Apollo but after seeing how Huffman lied about it, plus al of the misleading messaging, it was more than enough to cut that tie

Same. Reddit could walk back everything they said and literally prove they would be unable to do it again by some act of god that I still wouldn't go back. They have completely erased my goodwill towards them.
