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 can be shutting down someday Friday. (As I write this, the eulogy is on the high of r/all.)

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

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