Once Reddit announced they were going public I knew it was over. Money corrupts everything. I definitely spent (wasted) a lot of time on RIF.
RIP RIF, I still have it one my phone as a memorial
Yeah I still have bacon reader on my phone. I click it accidentally sometimes and it shows their goodbye message. 😭
That said I’m a Summit man now. Very happy with it!
cheers!
Losing RIF was the final straw, glad it prompted me to switchover.
Yeah there were a lot of little things before then. It kind of felt like being in an abusive relationship every time you saw an admin post. Glad you made the switch!
I use the RIF logo to hide my sketchy apps visually. You just made me realize that I’m 2 years obsolete.
Hard to believe its been two years, yet in ways it has felt like longer. Feels like a lot of shit has happened in just that short span of time in this little corner of the internet.
Happy cake day everyone! 😘
I first joined feddit.de but it was riddled with issues so I switched to lemmy.world after three weeks. Some time later it croaked anyway.
I still see the day third party apps went offline as the day of my departure and I am happy to see us grow into a friendlier alternative to that shitshow of a website.
Rif?
To add, RiF is so old that it was originally just called “Reddit”. It was around long, long before the official mobile app.
It could also run on potatoes (well, the first ever galaxy tab anyway.)
Originally started as Reddit Is Fun, a mobile app for Reddit. Then Reddit launched their own (shittier) app and forced them to change the name. So they went with RIF Is Fun.
Ah, thanks! I think Apollo is the app I used until I couldn’t
vger.app is very similar to Apollo.
Apollo, I miss you.
Apollo was such a great client. Voyager is a decent replacement, but it’s missing so much.
Oddly enough, Christian is now working on the mobile app for the Digg reboot. That’ll be interesting to watch.
I still have RIF on my phone even though it doesn’t work. Can’t bring myself to delete it.
I used to keep around a downloaded copy of Super Monday Night Combat after it shut down.
Oh wow, it has been that long 🤯
I didn’t really use reddit but I remember back then seeing a link in a story about reddit shitting the bed and thought I’d check it out. Back then a big issue was over instances not vetting users who applied. Thay sentence probably doesn’t even make sense to most users.
Though it has been interesting to say the least watching the reddit culture establish and then enforce itself.
I feel seen
