Apollo is dead. Long live Apollo
I remember signing up for Reddit as a college freshman. I was a digg user and joined Reddit in the aftermath of that fiasco. I sometimes laugh looking over my post history for the past decade plus. If you read the posts linearly, you can trace my evolution from a kid arguing passionately over politics and culture (things he didn&#x27;t really know much about), to a more mature young adult who rarely waded into discussions unless he had something meaningful to contribute. To me now, as a 31 year old man, who mainly posts on a few private subreddits full of likeminded people (and still occasionally gets into arguments about things he knows nothing about).<p>Until today I had not really mentally processed that Reddit as we knew it was going away. Until a hour or two ago I started get Rate Limits on Reddit Sync. At first I thought it was some kind of bug. Then noticed the date.<p>Like others mentioned, it will take some getting used to not having it. I&#x27;ve already noticed since the blackouts that &quot;site:reddit.com&quot; is less effective than it was even a month or two ago: some of the key subreddits I used have gone and stayed dark. I wish the owners of Reddit the best in turning their website into TikTok. But if I have need for mindless entertainment, I&#x27;ll probably just use TikTok directly. The small communities of likeminded people are not as easy to replace, and will be missed.
