Reddit trying to commit corporate suicide just like Twitter. A shame. People will abandon the service rather than use that garbage official app, and they simply must realize that by now.

@ampersine @arstechnica Also "It's better in the App" is literally #Reddit admitting they're a bunch of #DarkPattern using assholes...

@ampersine @arstechnica Indeed. If the official app worked, I wouldn’t use Apollo.

@ampersine @arstechnica …at least, before this happened. Now I want to use Apollo sheerly out of spite.

Hi, I'm the owner of a 13 year old reddit account. I'm deleting it the moment RiF stops working.

@arstechnica and let’s not forget, disallowing nsfw content in third party apps but not their own. Hmm.

@arstechnica Corporate greed at its finest. Time to leave the shit platforms.

@arstechnica A shame. BaconReader makes Reddit actually usable.

@ezsmile08 @arstechnica Well Mastodon is a lot different to Reddit. This is more akin to Twitter.
