Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.
Yep. It’s not that Reddit is unusable in the official app, it’s that it’s a sign of more shit to come. I don’t use other social media for a reason, Reddit doesn’t have the command over my life that they think they do.
I used rif. I can’t stand the official app. I get that reddit has to make money to survive, like any company, but in the process of chasing that profit you chase away a good chunk of your site you’re not gonna be profitable. Also I can’t stand the way Spez is saying we’re a community while trying to dictate changes the community absolutely hates and then attacking those leaving.
Reddit in particular has very little besides it’s massive numbers to actually keep users on their platform. I don’t use Twitter or Facebook anymore, but at least with those platforms there would be specific celebrity accounts or friends and family that would provide a reason to stay.
Because reddit was so focused on anonymity, you didn’t need the “celebrity” accounts to move platforms to make the alternatives feel viable. Even with just a small portion of users moving here it feels completely natural.

I’ve used Relay for over a decade. That app is reddit to me. I however do find the official app unusable.

The official Reddit app is unusable. Anyone who says otherwise is brainwaished into believing their phone showing an ad every 5 seconds is normal.
