What a bunch of dickheads, I'll stop using reddit entirely if they keep pulling shit like this. Hope Lemmy eats their lunch!

I had planned to leave reddit by end of June already, and have uninstalled Infinity from my phone a couple of days ago.
But man, this piece of news makes me wish I could do even more to boycott the platform. They are nuts. Enjoy the failure 😉
If I never have to use another Meta service again I'll be very happy. Unfortunately I still have to use WhatsApp because that's all anyone I know uses to communicate...maybe one day.
Of course they are, gotta make everyone use the shitty app to farm as much data as possible!
They already blocked it for unregistered users. There's only that annoying overlay, that forces you to install their app.

The experiment just being if you quit?
Holy shit Reddit is apparently trying to speedrun destroying itself. Hopefully lemmy gets popular soon because I think it’s going to stop being a matter of preference and will become necessary
It’s worth noting that this post was from last month before they announced the usurious pricing of the API. However the fact that they were doing this does not bode well for people (like me) trying to avoid using their horrendous app.

This feels like a huge joke lmao
And they really don't stop comin, eh? Corporate social media sites in general keep shooting themselves in the foot lately lmao, I think we're about on track for a massive overhaul in how the internet looks sometime soon. Or, that's what I hope anyways :x

This is incredibly pathetic. Why the asshats running reddit want to kill it this hard before an IPO is beyond me
I can maybe think of the thought process of people so far removed from how people use reddit trying to squeeze as much money out of it but killing it in the process, but it feels so dumb that I'm not sure I'm convinced
So the only option will be their own terrible mobile app. thanks, but no thanks!
I literally just had an instance of opening a nsfw reddit link from a Google search and it informed me that I could only see nsfw posts in the app...

Wow..
As if there was somebody on the fence about what direction Reddit is taking. Glad I left
Wow... just "Desktop Version" or if that doesn't work quit Reddit. The app is that awful.
