My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven't looked back)

Has no one here heard of redreader

Its still up due to an exemption iirc

When I need something, I go through my self-hosted libreddit instance.

I've also set up autoforwarding in case I accidentally click a Reddit link in the wild.

QuantumBadger's RedReader for Android was the way I used Reddit for 6 years because the official app was hot trash and it still is shit.

I still stopped using Reddit entirely after July, because it that site sucks donkey balls. Lemmy all the way, baby.

Don't forget the fact that Redditcorp was treating RedReader along with the rest of the app developers with a "put up or shut up" attitude, despite them eventually caving and providing an exception from the blackout. There are still some good communities there I'm sure, but the site as a whole has lost my trust, so they don't get my contributions anymore.

Re-dreader? What a strange name.

I too dread going back to that site.
