I stopped using RIF when the dumbass who developed it started whining about open source and monetary remuneration. The app became popular in large part because it was open source.

It’s just like the nutsack who founded GitHub. A literal GPLv2 program and the guy got super rich and famous, then extolled the virtues of using lax permissive licenses. Absolute tool.

best thing i did on reddit was leaving and coming to lemmy.

I never used RIF but I came over at the same time due to the fuckery over mods. I quit all my mod positions that day too, no more working for Reddit for free.

3 months short for me but that's because it took me that long to figure out how Lemmy worked.

I wasn't on reddit, but I did hear a lot of buzz about lemmy around that time, so I decided to check it out. It's been one of the better places I've enjoyed for discussion.

Honestly Lemmy has been way better for me for my phone habits. Just enough content but not too much

What's RIF? I joined when BaconReader stopped working

Someone else suggested saying when all the 3rd party API supported apps stopped working - but there's only so much room on a meme text box, ya know?

RIF was arguably the best Reddit mobile app.

RIF = reddit is fun

Its was when the third party apps went down

Time flies doesn't it?

I joined when Reddit started milking their users

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

Me!! Cheers 🍸

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

Wow, it's been 2 years already? Time flies! Cheers to the leavers

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Wow 2 years already?! Let's fucking go Lemmy!

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

Oh, it went down finally? I wonder if whatever Eternity is based on died
