I barely use reddit anymore save for porn and niche subs but after that glorious app I had used for ages finally died a few days ago I felt devastated. it was like losing an old friend. I hope reddit dies an even slower and more painful death

Thanks to everyone who left reddit because they killed the useful mobile apps, lemmy is becoming a viable alternative.

I’ve been waiting for a viable alternative that isn’t as toxic as reddit for some time now. I hope they kill off old.reddit soon.

I mostly left because I saw an abundance of bootlicking posts and comments, people dunking on mods for continuing the protest and saying that it doesn’t concern them cause they don’t use third-party apps. Granted, some of them might’ve been bots or payed, but a lot of frustration seemed genuine and fron real accounts, and it rubbed me the wrong way.

I really don’t get it. I also used official app for years now and now I’m here and reddit is becoming a memory because how they treated it.

Same. I hadn’t used a 3rd party reddit app in years, and I slowly watched as my reddit experience got worse and worse, but when they mishandled the whole situation it made me wonder why I’m sticking around.

I haven’t been to Reddit since mid June, wondering what portion of the posts you saw complaining about protests and the blackouts were real and what portion were made by bots / ai / etc? 🤔

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
