I felt like Reddit had been in decline for a long time. Then there was the API change and the debacle with the third party apps and I realised it was run by someone with no respect for the users, whose first instinct when something doesn't go according to plan is to lie and blame someone else. I didn't like that much, so here I am.
Reddit's site sucks so bad nowadays. You're bombarded with the "use the app" shit, it only loads like five comments when you first open the page, and you can't see NSFW stuff without logging in (despite it totally loading then pretending it didn't).
Look, I agree that the web interface sucks, but that’s kind of the point.
They want you to be so annoyed that you install the app instead.
No comment on whether the app also sucks. I’ve never installed it.
🥃😮💨 Damn. Never looked at it like that.
Firefox + Old Reddit + Oldlander extension allows me to survive on that platform. I mostly cycle between Linux or computing related communities so I was unaffected by corrupt admins. My "engagement" is trying to answer questions and learning rather than discussing so I don't boycott reddit.
I have used it a few times in the past year, but orders of magnitude less than before.
