you left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off.
I left reddit because reddit sucks and I've been looking for an alternative for a long while now.
We are not the same.

i left because 3rd party apps were being killed off, I'm staying because this is a superior community
I left because the way they went about killing third party apps. Bad faith notification, shit communication, and slandering Christian.
Same, they could have easily bundled in third party apps as only something you can use with Reddit gold or something, and I would have happily done that.
To me, I loved using Relay for Reddit, but them killing the 3rd party apps in itself wasn't why I left. The whole situation just showed that Reddit doesn't care about the community, they just care about profit, and they'll happily shaft the users and prominent members of the community.
Even then, the way they went about getting that profit was so sleazy to me. I don't like it, but I get a company needing to make a profit. But there's ways of doing that where you can still put the community first.
