I barely use reddit anymore save for porn and niche subs but after that glorious app I had used for ages finally died a few days ago I felt devastated. it was like losing an old friend. I hope reddit dies an even slower and more painful death

    Thanks to everyone who left reddit because they killed the useful mobile apps, lemmy is becoming a viable alternative.

    I’ve been waiting for a viable alternative that isn’t as toxic as reddit for some time now. I hope they kill off old.reddit soon.

      I mostly left because I saw an abundance of bootlicking posts and comments, people dunking on mods for continuing the protest and saying that it doesn’t concern them cause they don’t use third-party apps. Granted, some of them might’ve been bots or payed, but a lot of frustration seemed genuine and fron real accounts, and it rubbed me the wrong way.

        I really don’t get it. I also used official app for years now and now I’m here and reddit is becoming a memory because how they treated it.
