    RIF was part of my life for a decade. It’s crazy how emotional this experience has been. It feels like losing a home, a community, everything because some fuckface won’t find a compromise.

      I lost RARBG and then Reddit both in one month. Both I would go to daily.

      I felt, and still do feel a sense of hollowness that their familiarity had filled.

      I do feel like that about Apollo. It’s crazy how different the Fediverse feels via a UI that copies Apollo pretty closely, I feel like I just dropped into a gaggle of tiny subs. Sure most features are missing, but the progress is so fast.

      I still am pretty bummed about losing the old site. I’ve spent so long there. But I was hopping sites before and it’s now wrong to start doing that again. Complacency is how we get apps like Instagram, which are more ads than pictures of friends (which is all I want out of that platform)
