“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.”

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.
None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."
I hope they do stay there. I don’t want their drivel here. 🤷 If the main thing on their mind is being angry with the blackout, I can only imagine the content they would contribute to their communities anyway. 😵💫
Reminder of how stupid and toxic some communities are
That one comment saying “the mods take it too seriously, they act like they get paid” How anyone could use that as an argument against the blackout is beyond me
99.9% of their userbase weren’t even aware of third party apps, which frustrates me even more.
well we did find another app or website
It looks like a lot of
peopleidiots think the blackout is pointless and support Reddit’s choiceThese aren’t real people. These are Bots.
I don’t think anyone has a problem with a business trying to make money. The problem is the extortionate pricing and also not having things in place for mods or the communities with accessibility needs. And the timeframe in which the change is being implemented is ludicrous. And that isn’t even touching on the literal libel stating that Christian was blackmailing them.
Well that was a frustrating read. I don’t get it. Why are people so okay with reddit treating them like garbage?
Those are most likely the same people who think games should have paid dlc on day one and paywalls in games. Best to never think about em until they are all crying that Reddit turns into 90% ads for onlyfans
Those are Gamers™.
They aren’t exactly people known for their critical thinking. They are however known for eating a whole bunch of shit from game publishers and devs, even going as far as thanking them for being able to buy said crap-sandwich.
I was going to say, “Gamers are being buttholes? No way.”
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?
