I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.
Who checks reddit anymore? I don’t check the site at all. even if they did let third party apps back u/spez could always go back on his word. lemmy and the #fediverse where here to catch us when we became stranded!
reddit has been going down hill for over a decade at this point. if something better was a available it would have died a long time ago
I still enjoy /r/cfb and /r/collegebaseball
Otherwise, it seems the entire site has devolved into nothing but new bot accounts posting from the big book of repetitive karma gaining questions on /r/AskReddit. Seems everything else is a ghost town.
I felt Reddit’s quality started going downhill around 2021, which is not long after they introduced the official app and started allowing Google logins.
EDIT: Looks like the official app’s been around longer than I thought. :O
Is the official app really that new??? I thought it was around since way before.
It turns out it came out in 2016. I was thinking 2018, but I was wrong. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/official-reddit-app/
In a way, it’s been even longer than that, since they bought out Alien Blue in 2014, according to Wikipedia
I stopped using reddit… so I have no idea!
