Hey everyone. If you want to post links or discuss the Reddit blackout, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy!
I actually like the Reddit app (which apparently makes me the only one), but I’m not for Reddit fucking everyone over.
I think you may actually be the only one. whoa. I’ve never downloaded it so I wouldn’t know. But doesn’t it have ads? Because I hate ads so much and would never use an app that pushed them. Fuck ads honestly, I actually put in a good amount effort to make sure I see exactly 0 minutes of ads per day.
Yeah, my wife uses the official app and she complains about the ads. Constantly, certain subreddit posts show up in her feed as an ad.
I tried the official app and didn’t like it. It was too bloaty, comment chains felt annoying, navigation was annoying, lack of features was annoying.
I initially used Reddit Is Fun, then moved to Sync for some reason. Then moved to Boost after the Sync dev went MIA last year.
Each one of those was leagues above the official app.
Thats funny my wife had the official app for a while and deleted it when I showed her Sync, I didn’t even realize she wasn’t using Sync to browse reddit i just assumed she did and never asked. I used Sync for years and years. Alien Blue I think before that. I assumed reddits app probably looked something like they’re new browser site and I hated that thing. I only ever used old.reddit with RES. Now I’ll never go back there again if I don’t have a good reason too.
@TheButtonJustSpins It’s like letting oligarchs monopolize the means of communication is a bad idea or something!? Who knew.
