Updated Apollo to give it that Tweetbot treatment 🤝
@christianselig I’d ask for a cut of revenue for licensing fees but I think that would end up with me owing money. 😢
@paul @christianselig LETS TALK ABOUT THE BIRD THEN
@chockenberry @christianselig sure I’ll give you as big a cut of our last months revenue as you’d like.
@paul @chockenberry @christianselig In all seriousness though, Apollo and Tweetbot were two of my most-used/best-loved apps, and both were kneecapped within the span of a few months. I hope we all learn the lessons of the past and that federation becomes mainstream. We now have a lot of really great third-party clients for Mastodon; I’m hoping Reddit replacements will spring up soon because using Lemmy and Kbin through a browser kinda blows…
@warling @paul @chockenberry @christianselig Both Mlem and Memmy are coming together quite nicely. I too user Tweetbot and Apollo and loved both. Really demonstrates how people love the apps as much as the service. I can’t fathom using Reddit without Apollo.
@andricheli Agreed — Apollo *was* Reddit to me, just as Tweetbot was Twitter. Since those apps are now dead, the services that went along with them are now essentially dead to me as well, which is something that Musk and /u/spez have failed to grasp. I’m only one small user, obviously, but there are untold millions just like me and you.
@andricheli @warling @paul @chockenberry @christianselig I loved the apps far more than the services. Both platforms made it clear from the minute they started taking steps to introduce advertising that the everyday user’s experience was not topping their list of concerns anymore. Any company where that is the case is a ticking time-bomb, not worth investing time or (especially) money in.
