As a British person browsing r/all right now. Having this in the app is great.

As other British person I quite like to browse each picture and judge them whilst also tuting.

If only it synced my filters with RES, and could filter more than 100 subreddits. I have soooooo many filters in RES....

Which is why I am sticking with Readder. It allows more than 100 subreddits to be filtered. It doesn’t sync with RES, but I can live without that.
I think it will be quite sometime before Apollo has it own subreddit filter and stops relying on the basic one used by Reddit.

As an American I too am appreciating this filter.

As an American citizen it’s a great feature too, spam is spam regardless the cause.

No shit. It’s ok when their side astroturfs Reddit but it’s a fucking outrage when someone else does it.

I saw it more as a community gathering together. Giving people easy access to information about who represents them, and how. Information that could be much harder to obtain without net neutrality. Inconvenient for the international community, probably. But they aren’t talking about it on the local news. Or any other form of telecommunication company that isn’t interested in making money off this whole thing.

I love the support reddit is putting behind fighting back but as another British person all I see are the same posts. Great idea to filter. Haven’t tried that feature yet with Apollo.
Seriously though fuck the FCC and all those whore scumbags who betrayed everyone for money.
I get the opposition and am also for net neutrality but I get the feeling that we are kind of preaching to the choir at this point and efforts would be better focused outside our ecosystem.
They were preaching to the choir a year ago; now they’re just here to outrage troll.

It would be cool if you explained why you are against net neutrality, I mean the benefits of not having it etc.
I am very much FOR net neutrality but agree with the sentiment above. Reasons for that include the fact that net neutrality isn’t the only thing that is standing between the free net and crazy pay walls all over the place. Proof? That’s not how the internet was in the 20 years prior to net neutrality. Furthermore the absolutely obnoxious internet behavior surrounding the issue is an issue all its own. It REEKS of Kony 2012 and we all know damn well after the kids are done throwing their temper tantrum they will re-elect every single one of these politicians.
It’s a bit like enjoying a show but distancing yourself from the people screeching pickle rick on a McDonald’s counter.
There were isolated incidents of events that violated Net Netrality in the past. Comcast throttled Netflix, AT&T blocked FaceTime unless you upgraded your phone plan, stuff like that
I do see where you’re coming from with the Kony, but it also reeks of Ice Bucket Challenge, which raised over $100million for ALS. I really don’t see the logic behind “nothing too bad happened before the law was enacted so we should repeal it”, especially considering who the actors behind the repeal are. I mean imagine if there was a new law against pissing in children’s cereal, and a few years later the Pedophile Watersports Association of America wants the law repealed, saying ‘it’s not like anyone was pissing in kids cereal before we had the law anyway!’.

That’s what I thought.
Can’t tell if sarcastic or not...
