Reddit is removing the Direct Message feature, and all active conversations will be archived so you won’t be able to continue ongoing conversations. Reddit also deleted all bad reviews for their app awhile ago. Its rating went from 3.4 to 4.5 stars overnight.

    Huh? They added the chat in like 2017 as part of their push to enshitify the site and make it a social network lol. I thought it was stupid then, and I still don’t see why we need it. Reddit is (was) designed to be like a forum. You post, and you wait for an answer. It wasn’t meant for real-time conversation. I don’t even see how that fits into the site? The majority of chats I get are NSFW spam bots, and the rest are messages that I see months later because I have chat hidden and only see it on really rare occasions when I have to leave old.reddit a DM would have been answered much faster lol
