Even the CBC is making an article about it! 😅

      Different perspectives, I estimate reddit have realised that they can do literally whatever they want - And most users don’t care. Compare the engagement in the community regarding this matter by number of reddit users.

      And for those who do care INTENSELY, most of those users will be back in two to three days!

      At this point it seems akin to the sort of psychological dependence I’ve seen in abusive

        We shall see once the apps stop working. I keep instinctively running RIF of my phone and there is content, even if some subreddits are down. Once RIF goes dark I won’t have that instant click and who knows when I’ll be back. If I have to browse to a site, then it doesn’t have to be Reddit.

          I took the app off my homescreen, just to try to wean myself off of it, instead of having to go cold turkey at the end of the month. Lemmy is my crutch now, but I kinda hope I don’t get as addicted anyway.

        After using reddit daily for 10 years I will only consider going back if RiF will continue to work. I moved on from wow after years there, moved on from Facebook, moved on from Twitter, and moved on from Instagram. I don’t see why reddit would be any different.

        Abusive relationships. Sorry for cut post, this Jerboa android it just jumps around is literally the worst app for editing text I’ve ever used.
