Rest in peace RIF. I was honestly heartbroken. I know how sad that must sound, but goddamn, I used it daily for 6 years. It made my office hours and daily commute on the subway so much better.
Yeah man I used RIF as my only reddit access for 12 years. So when reddit was going hard with avatars, rewards and ads, I was immune to it. I think that's partially why 3rd parties were cut out. I did the revanced reddit app, but it still feels gross.
I've been full-time on a Lemmy for nearly a month already and haven't really missed the other place at all. But damn, seeing that goodbye message on RIF yesterday filled me with emotions that were weird and deeply confusing.
