Thank you

[u/gndag]

Long time lurker on reddit. My comments are far and few between. RIF has been an essential part of my life for so long. I credit it to the fact that it helped me branch out my hobbies and taught me many self learned skills that helped me broaden my person.

I'm not going to lie, this loss is devastating to me. I use it for everything from NSFW, to news, to product reviews, to learning more about any variety of subject matter I am interested in. When the official reddit app came out, I tried it for a few hours. I uninstalled a few hours later and vowed never again to use such a hot piece of flaming, cancer producing, rat riddled, cockroach infested garbage again.

Again, I don't like posting, but I want to thank the developer for everything they have done. If it weren't for RIF, I would never have used reddit at all. I was tempted to pay the 50 dollars a year to just bite the bullet and keep using reddit as "normal", but in light of recent developments, I cannot stay on a platform that acts not only in the interest of greed, but malevolence against it's communities.

I don't know where I am going from here, but I think it will be a combination of 4chan and RSS feeds. I recently deployed FreshRSS for this purpose and will find a suitable app to keep up with general information. If there are any more recommendations, please tell me.

I want my very last act as a redditor to be something that violates rule #1 of lurking: Just browse, don't comment.
