At this point, it's just funny. Reddit Admins couldn't have selected a better sub for this, it is almost art.

I have no idea how current Reddit actually looks like nor do I care as it was unusable.

Just for fun, I opened reddit in a fresh browser, without my settings and extensions etc. It was... shit. No other way to put it. 1/3 of the screen was used for content, the rest was some form of trying to feed you crypto stuff, advertisement or "hey you should rather watch this video than read text, you loser!".

For now, I can, thanks to some plugins, bring new reddit to something that is close enough to old reddit to be usable. But if this is the way reddit is heading, I'm out, alternative site or not.

They are still calculating their next move.

Sorry.

Can we build an interface for it? And call it a Snoos Button?

I doubt things in Russia will get better

Russian history tldr version: And then things got worse

Your scammers were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should!

I'm in the same boat. It was my go-to app, and at first, I was happy that it will stay open - but during the last few days, I realized more and more... I don't care anymore. Not about relay, but about reddit itself.

I've uninstalled relay on sunday - and never missed it on my phone. I just stopped wasting time and did better things with my time. At this point in time, I can't see myself putting out $2 a month just to get angry at ragebait again.

Sadly, most of my subs don't really care about the Reddit drama, and I can't find anything replacing them here. But at the same time… I kinda realized I don't really miss them, and overall getting away from Reddit feels like a good thing for my mental health. For now, I think my lights stay out at Reddit, and it will be replaced by a mix and match of lemmy stuff and old school forums. And maybe discord for some special live events.

So while the blackout and all that happened leading up to it didn't really change my Reddit experience, it changed my overall feeling about Reddit as a platform. Let's see how this will hold up.

That's the reason I'm hesitant to use a VPN for yt Premium from a cheap country. The lingering thought of losing my Gmail and android access...
