I have no clue how people use reddit anymore. If I open the app I am greeted with an unrecognisable mess of stuff I never asked for. Sorting is fucked, my frontpage contains stuff I don't care for and everything seems to be yelling at me for attention causing me to close the app again.

I remember trying to convince a book sub that "two weeks" is not enough time to stop putting everything behind a spoiler tag/spoiler free titles.

Their argument "don't come here and you won't be spoiled"

Meanwhile, Reddit is like hey you want to read this random post from a sub you unsubscribed from last month when the new book came out? its called "thoughts on Wally-Woo's death"

For me it’s the constant suggestions of other communities and posts on my feed of joined subs.

Next thing I knew my feed was slowly filling up with rage bait, which I never had a problem with a third party app, and I’d close the app angrier and outraged than when I started.

It’s nicer here, lol.

There's still third party apps on Android that still work once you patch in your own API key and on the web, old reddit still works.
