Sorry, but I’ve just come over from nbacirlejerk and I’ve become convinced this is the stupidest shit in existence lol r/nba closed down during the biggest game of the season so that, like, a handful of developers could sell apps?
If you’re so into reddit that you have to download an app, it’s gulag time.
It’s some lib ass protest that won’t change shit.
Third party apps are essential for visually impaired users and moderation, as :reddit-logo: doesn’t have a functional first party app.
As for me, I deleted my :reddit-logo: account and all this has done was lib up lemmy and give us some good dunk tank content.
:downbear:
Reddit’s mobile site and official app have such terrible UIs that they’re basically unusable.
Last I heard reddit is just going to wait them out so it’s pointless, like everything else in reddit’s sorry existence.
who care
People who moderate subreddits actually do use reddit enough to use an app. They’re also the ones making these decisions.
Moderators are also unpaid laborers who are needed to make the site function, so it’s neat that they’re fighting back somehow. Though a limited time shutdown is a lib-ass protest that won’t do anything.
