Too late for me, already deleted 99.9% of my content. My account will follow after the strike. I want to advertise some mags (do we say that? I say that) that ought to replace the subs i liked. Then i’m gone.
Fuck them. Even if the 3rd party app debacle settles, there is still so much shit going on that I wanted to leave for a few months anyways:
They’ve been trying to forcibly transform reddit to be the bazillionth social media website for years now. Avatars, being able to follow accounts, I don’t need that shit. I want a content-centric website with a discussion culture, not Instagram X.0 where the depth of a comment rarely goes beyond “yeah, that’s cool”. It’s only a matter of time until you can’t downvote anymore and they will implement some form of swiping or some other unnecessary shit function.
Their app is shit. Their new website design is shit (and will be forced on users soon 100%).
The whole NFT-avatar-embarrassment is a whole chapter on it’s own. They still try to sell that bs to people, even after all of them lost 90%+ of it’s value. The fact that this company runs a pyramid scheme as a side hustle should be reason enough to leave.
Then there is the censorship. I don’t mind censoring nazis and alike, they can go to hell. But the monkey business going on with the subs that try to help with the migration to other platforms is the epitome of stupid. As if these people never heard of the Streisand effect. These people think we are idiots, and they let us know at every opportunity.
