I can’t wrap my head around this, it seems so bizarre. The only reason I’m here now is because I joined Apollo right after Reddit changed its app to remove the sort by rising feature. It completely changed my experience on the app for the worse and I sought out an alternative, and I know I’m not the only one that had this complaint. I was a faithful Reddit user/poster on the official app for 6 years until just a few months ago. Why would they make their app less user friendly a few months before announcing the crazy API changes. They drove me away from their app and then drove me away from the site altogether.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? It just makes no sense to me
A lot of the reopenings were decided with a user vote. I do think though that the people prepared to move on weren’t around for the vote, so it skewed towards those who didn’t care about the API drama.
I know /r/RPG wants more users to vote than they have any chance of getting before they’ll consider further closures, and /r/Minecraft wanted to respect the users that voted, but caved as soon as the admins said they’d be removed, despite the poll.
