    Yep. It’s not that Reddit is unusable in the official app, it’s that it’s a sign of more shit to come. I don’t use other social media for a reason, Reddit doesn’t have the command over my life that they think they do.

      Reddit in particular has very little besides it’s massive numbers to actually keep users on their platform. I don’t use Twitter or Facebook anymore, but at least with those platforms there would be specific celebrity accounts or friends and family that would provide a reason to stay.

      Because reddit was so focused on anonymity, you didn’t need the “celebrity” accounts to move platforms to make the alternatives feel viable. Even with just a small portion of users moving here it feels completely natural.

      I’ve used Relay for over a decade. That app is reddit to me. I however do find the official app unusable.

        I used rif. I can’t stand the official app. I get that reddit has to make money to survive, like any company, but in the process of chasing that profit you chase away a good chunk of your site you’re not gonna be profitable. Also I can’t stand the way Spez is saying we’re a community while trying to dictate changes the community absolutely hates and then attacking those leaving.

          I’m hoping RIF’s developer ports it to work with fediverse instances, or even better makes connecting to them the default so all of RIF’s users join the fediverse.

          Also so I can browse kbin with RIF.
