I can't believe they push third-party devs away and then try to make Reddit as unappealing as possible! Like, I used their stupid app and I CAN'T HANDLE how much that stupid app LAGS!! If they want people to pay, they better be a damn good app. Like, this is just evil at this point!

I'm just saying, but Reddit is just becoming a money grab. I appreciated third-party devs because they made Reddit more enjoyable. My favorite app to use Reddit on is no longer effective due to Reddit's changes. That's why I'm on Lemmy now :/

Insane that on iOS you can't just change the icons to whatever you want

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

You sort of can.

While we all hate reddit, them changing the app icon to make a reference to what used to be a fun event shouldn't be our main point.

This won't work on android because changing icon is trivial lmao

Anyone brain dead enough to continue using that awful app is probably brain dead enough to pay for an icon.

Wow. That’s just crazy.

They might get a few gullible suckers to pay up.

I would never pay for changing an ugly icon.

Ahh the Free To Play playbook. Have to pay to not be frustrated. Ironically what Apple ushered in

This was honestly the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I used to check reddit every now and then, but after this I just couldn't justify it to myself to use it. I used to post a lot of stuff, and I modded a relatively small community, but it just feels wrong to use it.

My man, your camel has a strong back
