Re:Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators from Subreddits Con... by hn_throwaway_99 on Thursday June 15, 2023 @09:20PM (#36349644)
I have never used any third party apps, and I primarily used old.reddit.com on mobile to browse Reddit.

Yet this whole brouhaha got me to delete all my posts going back years, delete my accounts, and block reddit on my phone. To start, I think reddit management has just acted like total douchebags throughout this whole event, and I'm not interested in supporting that.

More importantly, though, the majority of time I spend on reddit is just a bad habit that I'm happy to now be breaking. All these social media companies are basically just "the drug dealer planet" from my favorite episode of Star Trek TNG: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis_(Star_Trek:_The_Ne...

Truth be told, we don't need it, and in many ways are better off without it.
