Fuck /u/spez. When it was just the API changes I might have grudgingly continued using reddit, but after this display I don’t think I will. Reddit has shown yet again that huge social media companies cannot be trusted to act in the interests of their users.
Yeah, I was still considering using it only on PC after they ruined third-party apps, but after this sequence of events I can't stand being on that platform.
That's where I'm at as well.
I was under the impression that I'd just hit it up on desktop every once and again. But now? I feel dirty using the site at all. Really hard to feel comfortable supporting that kind of behavior.
I have been casually browsing during work on my desktop.
The quality of content has dropped significantly. To the point that this morning I replaced the reddit link with a Lemmy one.
The nice thing about that is that only people who actually care about the quality of the content will look elsewhere, while the mindless doomscrollers will stay, where they belong.
