WTF! I payed for pro and ultra and i deleted my account already lol

JoeLaffingMatter, 10 months ago

F

Bonehead, 10 months ago

That just means you've donated your refund to a good cause.

Dee, 10 months ago

I think that yearly subscriptions will be automatically refunded pro-rata. If Jcb has a yearly subscription, and doesn’t want the automatic refund, they could still download Apollo again, click restore my purchases, then decline the automatic refund.

Teal, 10 months ago

You’re all good! I’m also an Ultra + Pro user and there’s no refund needed. Apple treats that kind of transaction as a one time payment. It’s only those who subscribe for a set amount of time (month or year) that are offered refunds.

Juanma, 10 months ago

Lifetime Ultra user here, I hope most people opt out. Such a shitty situation, hope reddit suffers the consequences.

detwaft, 10 months ago

They won’t in the short term.

In the long run they’ll hopefully go the way of myspace/digg.

It takes a long time for a juggernaut to die. They can circle the drain for years

MisterMoo, 10 months ago

Infuriating that this is going ahead. Apollo was Reddit. For me, Reddit no longer exists.

z3n0x, 10 months ago

Amen.

Ringoman, 10 months ago

Switch to Android a while ago, but I decided to support Apollo by buying their wallpaper book.

MortyMcFry, 10 months ago

I’m only a Pro user but I’m sure he would keep more cash if he could do partial refunds.

Silviecat44, 10 months ago

I donated but I didn’t get the wallpapers

DarthYodaX, 10 months ago

I ditched Reddit because of this… Apollo for Lemmy would be so great!

batterysoup, 10 months ago

Edit: Here you https://shreddit.com/

Does anyone know a reliable way to nuke your reddit account without manually going through and deleting everything?

kryostar, 10 months ago

I used PowerDeleteSuite which I've been told is a more privacy focused alternative and I found it really simple to use. Took a few minutes to nuke the account data. If you are replacing your comments it takes quite a bit longer though.

Also, anyone who wants to use this tools should probably do it before this months ends. These tools rely on the API to work.

Eggyhead, 10 months ago

I just went through and unsubbed 90% of my subs. Now when I go on reddit to check something, it’s just too boring to stick around for long.

I wonder if Christian will implement an account nuking or overwrite feature or something in his last update.

endlessvoid, 10 months ago

There’s Redacted for that though, works great. I would do it before they change API pricing in a day or two

CookieJarObserver, 10 months ago

RIP. kinda sad he didn't turn it into a lemmy/kbin client.

FaceDeer, 10 months ago

There's a client named Artemis under development that's heavily inspired by Apollo, don't know if any devs are crossing over though.

hariette, 10 months ago

Thanks for the shoutout! App is coming along!

a video and pics of current alpha build.

And see this toot, of me having fun with force touch to preview links :p

soda3x, 10 months ago

is artemis going to be on android?

RheingoldRiver, 10 months ago

Not hariette, but yes it will! I am currently testing it on android :)

Pankakke, 10 months ago

Yes! Artemis is being developed for both iOS and Android.

kratoz29, 10 months ago

There is also this awesome web app

wefwef.app

FIST_FILLET, 10 months ago

holy shit this is perfect, i pray they add support for us kbin accounts to log in

kratoz29, 10 months ago

Talk with the dev, maybe he adds it :)

hyazinthe, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Trying it out currently. Typing the comment has a bit of a latency and I think other apps are better to navigate with one hand only.

It's in alpha, but for that, its really not bad. Recommend trying

Edit: Also I noticed, that I cannot report comments of others and edit mine. That makes it difficult to be THE Lemmy app for now. But as I wrote earlier, its in alpha and the developer mentions that (including, that it has some limitations) on the github project page, linked in the comment above

Edit 2 (Update): Now editing works too! (Editied from wefwef)

kratoz29, 10 months ago

It is quite good for alpha, and it is worth nothing that it is so awesome that literally was rate limited by Lemmy.world lol

MentallyExhausted, 10 months ago

Thunder is the most polished iOS app I’ve found so far, but I like the direction mlem and memmy are headed more.

kratoz29, 10 months ago

tal, 10 months ago

It might happen, I suppose, but he may be wanting to hedge his bets. Lemmy/kbin don't have the same userbase (yet) and that userbase is an input into what kind of revenue is available for an app author.

revengebreaker, 10 months ago

Apollo seems incredibly smart. I'm sure this is the right answer. I hope july 1st is wild and we get more users

Rhaedas, 10 months ago

Didn't realize a refund would be a reverse payment, although that makes sense after thinking about it. Not as big of a problem to face if a developer is given more than 30 days to shut things down. Can he seek financial damage for Huffman's rash and illogical decision? Probably not, but not a lawyer.

CookieJarObserver, 10 months ago

Yeah these payment systems haven't been considering such situations, but they gladly happen very rarely.

If Christian made business decisions based on promises made by Reddit which they reneged on, he has a case under promissory estoppel.

He already has a case for libel based on statements made by spez.

Pandantic, 10 months ago

And didn’t they tell him there would be no major API changes, specifically in terms of cost “in 2023”?
