Just got my push notification from Sync. "It's been a hell of a ride."

It actually hurt my soul a little to hit that uninstall button. Maybe I'll try the Lemmy version when LJ makes it public. Don't know. Kind of liking the alternatives purely because it feels like a fresh start without the reddit baggage.

Got the notification as well :(. Haven't been on it since lemmy but it was still a sad feeling. I'll definitely be trying out sync for lemmy when its released.

Bought the full version like 10 years ago because, funnily enough I didn't want ads when browsing Reddit.

I'm loving the organized chaos over here better.

I was up-to-date on everything and knew 3rd party apps were shutting down, but it still felt like it wasn't going to happen. One of those 'oh surely they won't let it get that far' moments, but nope. Poof. All gone.

I'm struggling to do it too man ;_; I don't want to let go... I want reddit to come to its senses. After all the shit we've been through in the past 4 years, this is like a swift kick right in the ribs while we were already curled up on the ground in agony.

I don't know how to accept this "reality"...

I'm not uninstalling rif. It's going to sit there until I get a new phone.
