Third party apps made Reddit a dream on mobile, a big part of its success were the passionate people. And they showed us all the middle finger

For me it was the way they treated the Apollo developer Christian Selig leading up to the whole API thing. Absolutely heinous.

Remember when YouTube started having AI narrated posts from r/askreddit in its shorts? And how that slowly morphed into the AI generated slop stories about how one family member give the rest of them their comeuppance because the Henderson account valued results instead of random cheap business practices involving Sgt Menendez and his cheating ex girlfriend?

(This stuff is like candy to Boomers because it mirrors the reader write in sections of Reader's Digest.)

I should have noticed this earlier, but it dawned on me a few weeks back.

For me, I already disliked reddit and just needed to know that this place existed

I use sync for Lemmy and its elite. I can't fathom using the piece of shit reddit app.

lemmy has been talking about this for like 3 years now. you people have nothing new to say 😅️
