I’ve been using the Reddit app some lately after being a longtime old.Reddit.com + blocker person.

Ignoring how [ad] navigation is kinda annoying [ad] the shear [ad] number of ads [ad] they [ad] insert [ad] is insane.

The only good thing is none of them seem to be animated/video. Which is an incredibly low bar, but most sites can’t even jump that.

I'll probably leave reddit when old.Reddit.com gets the chop

I suspect I will too. I’ve been playing with the app a bit as it’s easier for me on my phone to view subs that are mostly pictures (e.g. awuariums). But I only do it from time to time.

Apollo was much better, of course.

Same, but it sounds like Lemmy still has some issues, and it'll be hard to replace some of the niche subreddits.

It kind of doesn’t matter. The thing that makes Reddit, to me, is its size. Lemmy will never get there, so it won’t be able to replace it for me.

I love Mastodon, it’s what I use, but it’s not what I lost with Twitter. Some stayed, some went to BlueSky, some Threads, some just gave up. And we’ll never have it again. Assholes destroyed a whole world out of selfishness.

This is the problem. There's no good replacement for Reddit right now, and Digg just died again.

		I’m honestly amazed they tried that. It’s been so long, it felt like a play to cache in on the name but I feel like a huge chunk of people don’t really remember it or weren’t even around for it.

To say nothing of all the personal data the app is hoovering up. Guarantee that every last thing you granted permissions for is something they're monetizing.
