I'll be honest I came to the platform before the whole API-pocolypse because Reddit was down for about half a day, and I was getting tired of Reddit's BS. But ultimately the API-pocolypse made me swear never to post to Reddit again and cut it cold turkey, more or less.

I was taking part in the blackout, but obviously Reddit the company did not listen, so I left. And here I am.

I also came here shortly before the full API bullshit. They announced it (months?) before, or there were at least hints from app developers about what was going to happen.

By that point i already had a laundry list of other shit i was pissed off about at that site. So i knew that was finally time to leave and find somewhere else.
