That's it folks. RIF has stopped working.
Reddit is no longer fun.
I've been on reddit for 17 years, I can't remember when I bought RIF. It was a good run.

Well that 's it for me. I blocked Reddit on my PC with UBlock Origin, and the only time I would look at Reddit would be through RIF. I can only hope for an app so good for kbin and the Fediverse.
Used it on every phone since my Motorola Droid. It will be missed.
I think I started on iPhone 3, if that's possible. Alien blue sounds too familiar to me and I think I read it was iOS. Means I've been around longer than the 10 years on rif, if my memory is correct. End of the day it's a damn shame, greed everywhere you look, amazing how one person or a few can affect thousands so easily.
The Creator of RIF says they are working on tildes.net, I don't believe that's part of the fediverse sadly. I really know very little about tildes anyone know why they would choose that over trying to build for Lemmy or kbin?

@Teppic RIF (RES when on PC) .
was basically my reddit experience for 9-10ish years. RIF also used to pay money to reddit before spez took over from Yishan. Dumbass cut off a revenue stream for nothing and fucked over users in the process. Shitty mobile web + ad blockers from here on out if I use the site.
For some reason RIF is working for me again as long as I'm not logged in. It stops working when I try to login.
Same for me, not sure how long it will last...
For actual? Infinity still works, I guess they shut off at different times?
But yeah RIP legend
infinity plans to switch to a subscription model. might be they stay working.
I'm not sure who they're doing it for, I'm pretty sure at least 99% of the people that used it in the first place are now done with Reddit or only use old.reddit.com (until that socket disappears too)
