I'm still struggling to believe that they've taken the wrong turn at every point.

When this whole thing happened I figured they'd soften their stance a bit, only to go back on it months or years later and essentially boil the frog slowly. I figured I'd just move to the official app, not that big a deal, especially if they improve it.

Yet 2 weeks later I've deleted reddit and running Jerboa now, the way the community rallied is nothing short of incredible and I'm really proud to be here.

I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the way Reddit and Huffman, in particular, handled this mess.

I was bracing to try out the official Reddit app or, at worst, become an occasional desktop user.

But Reddit's heavy-handed, disingenuous, combative approach turned me off. Probably forever.

The fediverse feels like how Reddit once did, anyway.
