I haven’t posted on Reddit since they killed third-party apps. Funny thing is, I was a paid subscriber for years before they did that.
Here to be the change I want to see in the world. Go Lemmy.

Reddit is dead to me. I blocked them at the router at my house. I should redirect them to a landing page that says simply.
"Don't be a sucker"
sooner or later they will follow the FB method, require facial recognition, ID scans. and google which is the most common email reddit usually attaches to account started thier more invasive datamining, by requiring QR code scan with your phone to make an account on google.
I always browsed Reddit without logging in, created an account once, and deleted it hours later because the algorithmic feed was too much filtering for me. I want to click on posts as a one-off without permanently altering the way the platform sees me. Now I can‘t browse Reddit anymore, which gave me the final push over to Lemmy. It‘s tragic how much collective knowledge we lost though, as the „You scrolled too much!“ tracking/blocking also applies to search results.
in old reddit, i use the all function, you can filter out the subs you dont want your feed. i did it to subs.
I got hit with that BS yesterday. They claimed it's to "keep reddit safe" lol. Just say it's because you want more money.
I was also prompted to log into the new reddit earlier today (as in full blocking login popup of the kind you see with news paywalls), so even that is off the table.
A million and one people said they'd leave Reddit if old. got shut down. Let's see if they come.
Honestly it's been great because the login lock finally has broken my doom scrolling habit. Lemmy helps me keep a pulse on some of my interests without being a firehose of bs that was r/all. Mental health and sleep habits have been soaring lol
I didn’t leave I was asked not to come back
I left and didn't go back.

Moved over here after I kept getting a popup I couldn't close pushing their app.
Reddit is finally dead to me. Good riddance.
FYI, in case you ever absolutely NEED it (people still post actual content sometimes only on Reddit that simply does not exist here on the Threadiverse), YSK that Ublock Origin has opt-in "annoyance filters" that definitely takes care of that popup.
Obligatory fuck spez anyway:-P.
welcome welcome, do you know your way around?
I'm so sick of everybody and their dog trying to strongarm me into using their app.
You should take his word for it, my dog's app is in fact the goodest app.
