    I’ve never used them, but IIRC they acquired some third-party client and then just modified them. “Blue Alien” or something like that?

    googles

    “Alien Blue”, at least for the official iOS app.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Blue

    I dunno what the history of the Android app is.

    That being said, they’re responsible for what they acquire, just saying that a lot of that might not be developed in-house.

      They acquired Alien Blue, but what they put out under “Reddit” was not Alien Blue in the least bit. They basically bought it to kill it. I had Alien Blue. :(

      Hey, acquiring another app and launching it as your own app is still launching it! What would they have done without spez?

        Those ass-butts.

        This is redundant. That’s why we put caps on them and call em ass-hats

          My favorite way to visualize the meaning of “asshat”: the person is such a sad waste of human life that their entire upper body is effectively just a hat for their posterior.
