First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

    The twitter thing is sad, but honestly not a huge deal. I rarely used it anyhow.

    The reddit thing is depressing, since I’ve been a huge supporter and user of Apollo for many years. It feels like getting stepped on and I feel for the developer Christian Selig who devoted so much time and energy to the app.

    I hope nothing happens to Twitch in the way that Twitter and Reddit have though, the small time streamers I follow and support won’t survive a thing like that.

      I think it’s an important lesson in impermanence.

      The net will always have good bits and bad bits, but they won’t always stay the same.

      Same, but ReddPlanet. I paid for Redd, but not Apollo because you can’t convince me to pay for something if I don’t have a chance to see if the features are worth it.

      ReddPlanet, slide, Relay were all amazing.

      I recently saw my wife use the official Reddit app. I… can’t take that kind of user experience.

      What about switching back to YouTube from twitch? Some streamers I follow stream on both.
