you left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off.
I left reddit because reddit sucks and I've been looking for an alternative for a long while now.
We are not the same.
i left because 3rd party apps were being killed off, I'm staying because this is a superior community
I left because the way they went about killing third party apps. Bad faith notification, shit communication, and slandering Christian.
I left because having that sort of person at the helm is just disconcerting.
Same, they could have easily bundled in third party apps as only something you can use with Reddit gold or something, and I would have happily done that.
It's showerthoughts. not supposed to be taken entirely literally!
my post is in the format of a meme, it's not supposed to be taken seriously. but yeah it's pretty ironic.
my meme game is obviously severely lacking.
Not understanding every meme? Believe it or, straight to jail.
Not understanding every meme? That's a paddlin'.
Yeah, straight to "not horny enough jail" because if you don't understand every meme, you're not horny enough for memes.
This person right here, officer
Maybe the lack of third-party apps is the friends we made along the way?
I haven't deleted my account or anything, but after RIF Is Fun closes it's doors, I will likely be on Reddit very seldomly if at all. Most of my browsing of Reddit has been via RIF since 2015. The official app has always been a slow, glitchy, ad-riddled piece of shit. RIF was like using a mobile-friendly version of the old layout and was 1000% more stable. So instead of finding a way to integrate something similar into the official app and fixing their bloatware, they decide to kill third party apps altogether. You'd think EA owned Reddit by the way they're going about things these days.
No skin off my nose if Reddit ceases to function. The Reddit that exists today bares very little resemblance to the website I fell in love with 14 years ago.
