"Despite these concessions, dozens of Redditors promised to stop using the site altogether "
There are dozens of us!! Lol
Fucking delusional on this writer’s part. It was far more than dozens and a lot of those people were power users with an outsized influence on the community.
I personally moderated two 150-250k user subs. Stepped down from both and wiped all my posts and comments and have not contributed a single thing since.
I went from multiple comments per day and posts almost every day to a couple comments a week and I think I've made one post since the protests
That place got hella toxic since the protests
The official Reddit app pushes "recommended" stuff into your feed constantly, and the posts and comments both seem to be even more pervasively negative than before the 3rd party apps shut down. Scrolling on Reddit is even worse for your mental health and outward perspective than it used to be.
I refuse to use the reddit app since they killed my favorite reddit app
And browsing on a mobile browser has gotten even worse recently as well so I'm only using it on my desktop
It's gotten so bad over there
Same. They killed Apollo, so I dipped.
Heck I'm still using my favorite reddit app, just now with lemmy instead
Using Boost or something else?
I'm using eternity (formerly infinity)
