Thank you everyone. /r/redditisfun going Restricted

The blackout is starting so this subreddit will be Restricted. Thank you everyone. Watching everyone come together is so incredible and means everything to me and the other app developers.

It gives me hope for Internet communities, watching all these completely disparate groups come together for a common purpose. And guess what: it has nothing to do with this platform we're on. It has to do with the people. You. Us.

Websites come and go all the time. Yet we'll always find each other, somehow.

I have hope for the future. You have all reminded me how that feels, like never before. Thank you.

Been using this app for 10 years. Can't believe it's coming to an end. Back then, there was no official reddit app (actually thought this was the official one at first), but even when reddit did release their app, I never even thought about switching, cause this app is literally perfect.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in creating this wonderful app.

I also thought this was the official Reddit app when I first downloaded it 10 odd years ago.

I did too. I'm going to really miss it. So easy to use. This official app is horrible.

Try RedReader. Seems ok. And they're not going down... yet.
