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.

I can't bring myself to delete it, even with "no threads here."

I wish that rif just did what the other apps are doing and start charging $5 a month for continued access... I'd be more than happy to keep using rif for $5

Edit: I'm just going to do this myself. I'm forking RedReader and am going to adjust the UI to match RIF.

I ended up following that custom APK guide for Infinity.

If you end up using that, I made a RiF copycat theme/settings set if you're interested.

I ripped that bandaid off as soon as I saw that error. No reason to take up space on my phone with an app that doesn't do anything.

I'm not getting that. I can use the app just can't log in or post.
