#14Still using Boost with the ReVanced patch[0]. No telling how long that will last though. Regardless, I'm massively scaling back my use of Reddit.

Edit: For those interested, the patch just lets you use your own API key. But the dev is no longer supporting the app and there's no telling whether the bring-your-own-key strategy will work in the long term, considering Reddit's recent behavior.

#15> With the death of Apollo also goes the metaphorical death of all the best parts (IMO) of the internet: open-source, Apollo was Open Source?
The Backend was open sourced to counter U/spez Bullshit arguments about inefficient code creating too many API requests

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I'm going to try giving up internet comment sections for a while to try and see if I can live without them. I have wasted far too much time on Reddit, Hacker News, and recently Lemmy (which I tried to use as a Reddit replacement).
The articles themselves would be nice to keep around, I haven't found enough RSS feeds to make my feed reader app populated enough. I will probably make a userscript to disable comments here, use Kagi search to minimize the amount of Reddit in my search queries, and overall use a solution like Screen Time to try to limit use of other sites I spend way too much time on.
I know a lot of users are going to Lemmy or Kbin, both of which are on the Fediverse.

#19>Edit: sorry, Apollo wasn’t open source. That’s what happens when I make a post while two beers deep I guess.
Well, the server backend was recently opened:

Lots of communities on Reddit have started the process of migrating to different platforms. The federated alternatives like Lemmy have had recent success although I question the complexity of it all in terms of getting mass adoption.
Most of the alternatives seem to be missing the core idea of what Reddit really is (a community of communities). I think first and foremost it's the community aspect of Reddit that makes it appealing.
I've been building a platform called Sociables which is intentionally not just another Reddit clone. We are trying to create an all-in-one place for people to create communities first and foremost and not just posts.
Here's an example of a community:
