The reddit app isn’t a content delivery mechanism, it’s a revenue generation mechanism.

Yeah I didnt delete anything either, but if people don’t go back that’s what will really affect reddit in the long run. They can sit on their precious marketable content but if it stagnates it won’t be worth squat after a while.

Rif kept working throughout a lot of the day yesterday but I finally had a minute yesterday evening, very late, and sat down and launched the app… It worked for a few moments but alas that was only the cached posts. Soon it stopped, for good.

It was very sad uninstalling rif, I can’t fathom the obscene amount of hours spent using it, endlessly scrolling my carefully curated subs, be it while pooping, waiting for someone, watching something dumb, or in the middle of the night unable to sleep.

Sigh.

Hey, there’s lots of nice people and good magazines and fewer bots and trolls over here, so we’ll all be fine.

I’m fine.

Snif.

No no rif was reddit now rif is dead.

Reddit has a high percentage of bots and shills so this is still real people thus more welcoming.

I think they might be implementing some feeble attempt at damage control

What they did to The_Donald where Spez edited comments to make the sub seem to be inciting violence, so he had an excuse to ban it, is a prime example and should be a red flag regardless of someone’s politics.

The banning from several subs automatically of people who joined joke subs like “ChurchofCovid” is also a prime example.

Very hostile to differing political opinions.

I don’t think it’s a social media site any more, I think it’s a propaganda site and a data harvesting operation.

Spez went into The_Donald and edited comments to make them appear to be “inciting violence” in order to have grounds to ban the subreddit.

THAT is straight up bullshit. I don’t care what your politics are, THAT is bullshit. Then, take into consideration that MANY subs banned people for NO reason other than subscribing to certain subs for people who had opinions that differed from the prevailing policies regarding a certain virus.

Reddit was founded by a guy who actually believed in free speech.

I just need certain tech groups, automotive groups and fuzzy kitties so I think kbin will probably be fine. I use RIF for reddit and it’s just plain stupid to kill 3rd party apps and screw with the API after all this time.
