"This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website."
"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.
None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."
The funny thing is, if reddit's app wasn't such a raging piece of garbage, I might have considered staying. But because it's such a putrid waste of space I literally just cannot use the site any more.
When RIF goes, so does reddit for me. I primarily use the site on my phone, so a good app is vital. And if none exists, then, well... What to do?
Then again, if it wasn't this, then I am sure they have removed old.reddit instead. And for the few times I am on my PC to look at reddit, I would not have been able to stomach it.
TLDR; the reddit app is genuinely an affront to all things sacred in the world.
For me it really is that bad, yes. I could stand to use it for a sum total of 30 seconds before I had to return to RIF. It felt like I was scrolling through Instagram or some other cancerous app like twitter.
