While terrible on so many levels, giving third party developers the boot is, ironically, precisely the best thing you could do for a competitor like the threadiverse since some will inevitably come over here. Experienced developers who know the domain will suddenly be putting that experience to work to make the threadiverse better. Is that really what Reddit wanted?
Guess we’re about to find out. Their loss is our gain.
It’s like reddit has a fundamental misunderstanding of what some of their core userbase was there for. We weren’t there to meet people and make connections and lifelong friends. We were there because our brains want constant input but for information and learning, not entertainment. We can have these same discussions with anyone anywhere. It’s not that we’re antisocial, it’s just that “social” for us is interacting in a different way than interactions done for the sake of forming connections, which is what reddit seems to be really pushing people to do. We can have those same discussions with anyone, anywhere.
I don’t know if that makes sense. 😂
Anyway, I’m using wefwef now and as a hardcore Apollo user, it feels like putting on a new pair of the same favorite shoes. It feels a little different, but once they’re broken in they feel just like the old ones.
