  • I quit when rif went down. I’ve never used an official app, desktop site, mobile site etc. Rif was Reddit to me for 10 years. Maybe leaving as a collective will make some difference, maybe not, but I’m going to start being more firm on how much I’ll let companies try to push me around expecting me to just take it. They built it on our backs, then just took it away so a literal select few can cash in, when they are already filthy rich and had other options.

    I’ve been explaining it to others as if you broke your phone. Now it’s frustrating getting used to a new phone, but it has lots of new features you never even thought of that make up for the inconveniences. Sure I could go back to my old phone, it’s comfortable to use, but the screen is broken and it cuts me now and again, and over time it’ll cut me more often. I’d rather get used to the new phone.

    This past year I’ve dealt with food going up, gas, utilities, rent, hell cigarettes and even beer, my fishing license went up. Every single nook and cranny they can pull a cent from you they will.
    I’m done choosing to let them. If they want my data, my attention, my content, they can pull it from my cold dead hands damnit.

    Ok weird ass Braveheart speech over and out.


  • I don’t expect anything positive to come out of Reddit after the direction they chose to go. Spez has proven who he is and what’s important to him and that won’t change. I was just curious as to what effect no 3rd party apps was having on the user experience, since they kept saying it’s only 10% and that they didn’t care and wouldn’t be noticed.






  • I’m on tildes, it’s really refreshing and easy to use.
    Main difference is that it seems to cater more of a serious adult conversations, which after years of being able to predict most comments before looking in Reddit, is very refreshing.
    Lots less memes, communities are pre set and can’t be created, seems to be to make sure to populate them before creating sub categories that people may see as in active and avoid.
    Overall it feels like fedworld is best overall experience, squabbles is memes and lighthearted and tildes is more deep and thought out style of interaction.
