  • Deleting the app did wonders for me. Well, Reddit deleted the app FOR me (Apollo user), and I refused to install their adware app onto my phone.

    Forced me to only use it on PC, because visiting via phone browser showed like 3 comments on thread, then linked to some other thread, and insisted I install their adware for “a better experience”.

    PC I was still browsing and occasionally commenting on old.reddit for a while, with uBlock on high censorship mode. But all my mobile browsing was gone.



  • Welcome to the Fediverse!

    Good to see you found your interests here! One of the most common complaints is the lack of whatever niche someone is looking for. So it sounds like you got lucky!

    I’m another that fled when they killed 3rd party apps, and.lied about devs to demonize them in the process. Never swappedoff of old reddit on my PC, Had been spending half of my reddit time on mobile, refused to install their shitty adware app on my phone.

    Spent less and less time on it on PC, eventually accidentally did something on my browser that disabled the ‘reply’ button even on old reddit, took it as a sign.

    Old account, same Karma style. No farming, just decent wordsmithing while writing my comments. Enough to know my general comments would be positive, without sacrificing what I wanted to say. (And to know when to go all-out on something unpopular enough that no careful words would stop the downvotes)

    You will find a different culture here. I’ve certainly gotten dome comments upvoted that I was SURE would go negative. If you notice posts/people that bother you are primarily from one instance, you can block that whole instance from your feed. We even have a lil community specificly for complaining about power-tripping mods at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you feel any here could use some name 'n shame!
