This was the push I needed to delete my reddit account and I did it yesterday
This is what finally did it? I stopped mine when they killed anything but their shitty app, but also when it became clear just how "freedom of speech" they weren't.
So did most of us. No reason to be hostile to someone who took more time but still committed. The day they monetized the API was the 3rd best day. Today is the 4th best day.
I say there's no reason to be hostile to someone still on Reddit. I check here first for most things, but there are many communities whose presence here is either anemic or nonexistent.
Then again, Reddit has always been a desktop first experience for me. I pretty much only use old.reddit.com, and my line in the sand will probably be when it dies.
That was my line in the sand until I was banned for liking a comment and not told which comment it was.
Probably the one about Luigi as it's been documented Reddit is banning people just for upvoting those.
Possibly, but the AI they've got doing it is just bad. Even liking an innocuous comment like "you're killing it, dude" is apparently enough to get banned.
Same. As soon as reddit is fun was gone so was i
RIF was my jam! It kinda sucked when they had to change their name from reddit is fun (rif) to rif is fun.
