    Oh, it’s about to get far worse for reddit in short order.

    I suspect that we will be seeing some very beloved third party apps that just got bullied out of reddit, available for lemmy very soon.

    What the fuck is spez going to do, when he now has to compete against the look and feel of apps that make his app look like dogs shit? He can’t boot them from reddit again.

      The Sync app author has confirmed they’re working on a Threadiverse app, and I suspect we’ll get at least one more from the reddit 3PA authors.

      There are also some nice ones shaping up from other developers already too.

      My opinion is that without proper moderation tools, the best mods will leave or just quit moderating. Slowly the site eats itself when that happens.

      These 3P app developers have millions in their audience. Millions of people who’d love nothing more than to open that app as usual on July 1st and just keep doing the same thing they did the day before.

        Once Sync publishes their first public build it’s over for Reddit. Native simply can’t compete with Sync.
