I came here three years ago when they killed the API and Reddit is Fun on mobile. I refuse to use their mobile site but still used their desktop. If they kill old.reddit I guess I'm done then.
You can do it. Just delete your account. I did it. I live without Reddit now, and I'm happy. After a while you won't miss that cesspool
Same here.
BTW: technically they just killed it.
Same here but when they killed Joey App. But I haven't gone back for anything and refuse to use it at all. It's so bad every time my wife shows me shit on there.
Same as me, except I never went back. I don't spend as much time here as I used to on reddit, but most of that was wasted time anyway.
i only use it on the browser. got banned last year during the purges. you can make another acc after a while(unknown), with a fork, that reddit is not used to. i just use the niche subs, no interest in the main subs(where most are happening)
Yeah same, the death of RIF was the nail in the coffin for me.
