📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ in c/technology@lemmy.ml

That headline undersells how crap this was. The site wasn't actually affiliated with the USPS and ended up leaking 900,000 user records. :/
