I'm glad the fediverse exists. People really ought to move on from Reddit and big tech in general ... Where possible.

Both the Reddit app and the Reddit website are absolute travesties

God, and the app actually sucks such a bag of dicks. I use it as infrequently as I possibly can because it actively fights me trying to get what I need from it.

Unsurprising. The complete lack of concern from spez for the backlash to the appocalypse was the main reason I left. It signaled both that he is a condescending douche and that there's likely to be more.

The Reddit manchild fanbase are just grown up tablet kids at this point. Makes sense to push them to an app on their phone.

Good, makes it easier to leave that garbage heap of a website.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 5 points 4 months ago

Good timing, I just deleted my account last night.

old.reddit.com is unaffected

[–] zerofk@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The few times I click a link to a Reddit post I immediately change www to old. That new monstrosity is unusable.

[–] zeroConnection@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are there still people on Reddit?,
