Reddit protest updates: information on the apps shutting down and Reddit’s fights with mods

“Don’t cry as a result of it’s over, smile as a result of it occurred.”

Christian Selig wrote a eulogy on the Apollo subreddit paying tribute to his app, which might be shutting down someday Friday. (As I write this, the eulogy is on the prime of r/all.)

I’m actually heartbroken with how this entire course of unfolded, I really drank the Kool Assist speaking to Reddit in the beginning that this was one thing they had been going into in good religion with the curiosity of builders, moderators, and the group as a complete, however as many individuals identified to me, it’s clear now that in the end wasn’t their intent. In the event that they wished one thing that would work for everybody, they might have merely made an effort to pay attention, as an alternative of being dishonest, callous, and punitive in pricing. I’m sorry to all the parents who, like me, misplaced Apollo abruptly because of this. I had a lot extra I wished to do with this app!

Different customers are memorializing the app (and others), too.
