    I think insulting is the wrong way. It’s just a level that I am disappointed to see people lower themselves to.

      Same here.

      From where I sit, these people should simply abandon Reddit, rather than fuel its popularity.

        While I also like to watch a slowmo trainwreck from a distance, we should be focusing on building our new home. The foundations are already here, but everything else is still absent.

          Aye.

          Developing new approach and mindset to data sharing and online culture would be great. Unfortunately, plenty of people insist on making this place Reddit, with all its wrong aspects… 😑

      I see it as pointless and potential risks tarnishing the image that third party apps helped improve reddit (especially to normies/non techies who only use the official app and website).

      What I don’t get is what will damaging the ipo achieve now that a lot of 3rd party apps are toast (Apollo, rif, reddit sync). Even if spez or reddit as a whole did a full 180 nothing would change on the prospect of 3rdparty apps.

      Only thing reddit can change is improving the first party app and mod tools (given their stance was the api was never meant for 3rdparty apps after flip flopping).

      As a user you have more or less 5 options:

      1. completely switch to Lemmy (or similar alternative).

      2. use the official reddit app and deal with it

      3. use social media less (pull the plug overall per say)

      4. Use a paid subscription 3rd party app (example infinity for reddit

      5. use a modded version of 3rdparty apps with custom api or the official reddit app modded (ex vanced)

      I hope this comment doesn’t come of too corporate or shill like
