“This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website.”

    The funny thing is, if reddit’s app wasn’t such a raging piece of garbage, I might have considered staying. But because it’s such a putrid waste of space I literally just cannot use the site any more.

    When RIF goes, so does reddit for me. I primarily use the site on my phone, so a good app is vital. And if none exists, then, well… What to do?

    Then again, if it wasn’t this, then I am sure they have removed old.reddit instead. And for the few times I am on my PC to look at reddit, I would not have been able to stomach it.

    TLDR; the reddit app is genuinely an affront to all things sacred in the world.

      I know it’s not great, but is it really THAT bad? Is it honestly worse than navigating Lemmy?

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m DONE with Reddit. But is all of this really just because they don’t like the official app or is there something more?

        The app is riddled with trackers and unnecessary analytics. I’ve heard people talking about their PiHoles creating multi GB log files a few days after installing the app because there is that much crap being filtered out.
