"This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website."

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.

None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."

Fuck me those comments were hard to read. You know what, I don't think I'm going to miss Reddit much.

The funny thing is, if reddit's app wasn't such a raging piece of garbage, I might have considered staying. But because it's such a putrid waste of space I literally just cannot use the site any more.

When RIF goes, so does reddit for me. I primarily use the site on my phone, so a good app is vital. And if none exists, then, well... What to do?

Then again, if it wasn't this, then I am sure they have removed old.reddit instead. And for the few times I am on my PC to look at reddit, I would not have been able to stomach it.

TLDR; the reddit app is genuinely an affront to all things sacred in the world.

Frankly one of my favorite parts about the blackout - and opinions like this - is that Lemmy is going to end up being populated by people who have the capacity to think about others and form intelligent opinions. All of the people with this attitude will stay on reddit, which is what will ultimately kill it. I hope he stays.

Yeah, I really like how here people tend to make longer comments and have nice discussions and stuff.

I think it's important to remember a lot of people participating in the blackout are still on a break from Reddit and aren't commenting on these kinds of posts.
Anyway, we did indeed "just find another app or website", so we're good.
