I haven’t looked at the front page of Reddit since the exodus. I have used it to deshittify Google search results but that’s it. I imagine it’s absolute garbage by now.
My gosh that Reddit app icon is horrible. It looks like a terrible meme NFT or something. …Which was probably the aesthetic they were going for, to be clear.
ik reddit has nfts,which makes sense.
Never used any of that clients always used offical New Reddit web client even on mobile. I moved to Lemmy because it’s FOSS. That’s all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Makes me 'member these informative graphics on 4chan ~2008 that categorized users into oldfags, newfags and cancer. Anyone else 'member?
reddit was not great after like 2015. It just completely shit the bed in 2023
I found a loop hole in the reddit-verse and am able to use bacon reader like its early 2023. I mourn the day this glitch in the matrix is removed from my devices. Until then, carry on!

Represent. I do miss it sometimes, but it’s probably better that I don’t spend as much time online.
Reddit made it unusable on mobile again.
I use Firefox + unlock, but naturally it’s just slower and less convenient than rif.
I use reddit a lot less now. Practically don’t use it on mobile as I noticed.
Oldreddit + Oldlander extension is way more convenient on mobile browser.
Apart from going there through a search engine I’ve never used Reddit again since they killed the API.
I use reddit for special interests. There are some subreddits which are unmatched sources in terms of expertise. Be it a game I am currently obsessed by or serious job related discussions about the newest embedded tech…
It’s sooo hard to get away from games. You’ve either got Discord which is a shit show, or reddit which is an ad riddled shit show, but at least the comment and discussions are relatively structured.
I miss Apollo. It was just so good.
I still use it to follow the war in Ukraine, but that’s it. It can burn once the Russians are defeated.
I miss bacon reader =[
I miss bacon reader too … sobs
What I used before leaving: copypasta
(A bot allowed to replace all comments with an edit to avoid being farmed by reddit or sold to AI)
I edited all my comments, then deleted all of my comments, then deleted my account and two-factor. Then Reddit restored my account and all it’s comments and I can’t remove them again cause no two-factor 🙃
Former Slide user here 🙋
For me it’s not the app ecosystem. Reddit used to feel like it was a platform run by its community now its very company run and controlled.
Reddit is now run by people ugly 🫏 faces. 🤣

The comment you are replying has “ass” censored with a 🫏.
This is the first time I am seeing ass being censored in such manner. The more I ponder why the commenter did it, the funnier it gets – regardless of their intention.
Its so shit even Elon won’t buy it.
I pay the yearly subscription for Sync Pro, and I consider it a donation more than anything. I’ve gotten so many years out of that app, and the developer choosing to repurpose it to Lemmy made my transition here almost seamless from reddit.
Wait, Sync for Lemmy is a subscription and not a one time purchase? Boost’s dev did a similar transition but only standard one time purchase there.
There’s a one time purchase to remove ads and a subscription for features like machine translation or importing/exporting your communities. It’s $17 yearly or $100 lifetime
Hadn’t seen the variation of pasta before. Feels like the perfect X years later of the original
I think the true cutoff for me with Reddit was when they perma banned me for commenting that I should in fact be allowed to punch nazis (pretty sure it was a mass report thing going on)
Hey, same!
I was temp banned from all Reddit when I messaged the mods in a subreddit to complain about a post.
I think thousands of people did the same thing that day, it was a really obnoxious comment section that ticked off many ; but someone had connections and they issued everyone who complained a three day ban site wide.
