I didn’t even use third party apps, I just really don’t like when companies try to enforce stuff in that way. I’d love for Lemmy to grow big, and it doesn’t seem to have the same initial clunkiness and feeling of being lost that you’d have on Mastodon during the Twitter shenanigans. I’m hopeful.
Ditto. I used to use BaconReader a million years ago, but for the most part I just use my mobile browser if I’m on my phone. But them doing this to 3PA is a red flag, a big giant one, that either they’re looking at Twitter and going “wow that’s working great, definitely not a huge catastrophic trash fire” or at least going “that’s a trash fire alright, but one I’m willing to live with if it means more money.” Time to get out.
