A message

Thank you everyone for your support since 2009.

Thank you to /u/anon_smithsonian in particular for taking care of everyone on /r/redditisfun.

RIF, you’re quirky and rough around the edges, but you’ve always gotten the job done. You know how to get out of the way and show people the articles, discussions, pictures, and videos they came for.

You have the silliest name, but we love you all the more for it. RIF will always be fun in our hearts.

RIF has been so much of my life.

I’m honored that so many of you have felt the same way.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me. It’s been fun.

    Thats really sad. I started using the app about 13 years ago, in a time where I had very little frends and thought a girlfriend was never an option. Now 13 years later im going to marry in july and have all my friends around me. So thanks Reddit is fun for filling a hole I had all these years ago.

    Reddit Is Fun was how I started using Reddit before there was an official Reddit app. For nearly a decade I have used RIF almost every day of my life, and I will miss it dearly. Thank you for all the good memories. This thank you message will be my first comment on lemmy, and I truly hope this community will thrive.

    I’m convinced that there is more going on behind the scenes. Like Twitter was gutted recently, reddit follows. The ones with power don’t like the masses having as much access to information and the ability for like minded individuals to talk with each other. Elon Musk was a scapegoat as is Spez now in an effort to shape global access to information.

    Thank you @talklittle for all your work, as many others said here, RIF was probably the most used app I had and it was my main tool used for Reddit. All the best man.
