    It works really well for me actually. Every time that mobile app begpost comes up it’s a great reminder that I shouldn’t even be looking at Reddit at all. Cut down my doomscrolling on my phone immediately.

    I got permabanned this week for saying “Poor white people are being tricked into blaming black/brown/trans people for their problems instead of billionaires.”

    Apparently it was promoting hate based speech and attacks.

    Reddit was kinda neat 15 years ago, it’s a fucking cesspool now.

    You know I was a multi time a day user, I had lot of favorite subreddits, I accidentally posted in a sub that I had been “banned” in from my other account (for making a comment that was not particularly political and they said it was), it was not malicious, was not intentional, was not trying to “get around their ban” just accidently posted from the wrong account. Didn’t notice what sub I was in. Then 4 months later I did the same thing not, I was just not paying attention to what sub I made a casual offhanded comment in. I ALSO happened to be using a VPN. And BAM! IP banned, all 8 of my accounts banned even my business account. I was so so so upset. But now a month later, I still get kinda upset that I can’t use it to ask questions. but man what a fucking time suck it was. My brain was just rotting away there. That whole IP banning thing is total bullshit.

    3 days tops before some reverse engineers the app and makes a proxy website. You won’t win this fight, spez. You will just lose in the most expensive way possible.

    I just use desktop agent on my phone if there’s a good answer to something on reddit, but honestly it needs to die and we need to use fediverse more for discussions.

    Redditt is becoming more and more difficult to use on the web over the last couple of months or so. They know that there are browser extensions that filter out unwanted elements, and also that trackers and fingerprints are increasingly being blocked.

    You can’t be tracked as easily with a properly configured browser and I suspect that this is what the change is all about. I will continue using Reddit on the browser, for now, but am happy to ditch it if it becomes a problem.

    There is a lot of AI and Human slop posted these days - I am getting fed up with having to decipher posts from people who simply cannot string a coherent sentence together. I am also getting fed up with people using expletives and profanities and just wish people would communicate properly.

    Sigh I left reddit but I still like to browse in my niche game(s) specific community to see discussion. We need alternative, steam forum isn’t that great for some of games, and there’s barely any other unless they’re top 20 games.
