A lot of Reddit will go dark soon in protest of API changes
What I find kind of hilarious is that many people, like me, are upset the in-app experience is gonna get severely downgraded when third-party apps get pushed into closing, and are reacting by… moving to a place like kbin that doesn’t have an app at all.
It really shows that the broader issue is much bigger than usability. What kbin has that Reddit has lost is user confidence that improvements will come and will be driven by community needs and not profit.
Rooting for you, kbin!
Kbin looks good in a mobile browser though. Reddit is fucking unusable on a mobile browser, it’s even worse than their app.
Old Reddit is not too bad, but the new interface is awful on mobile.
Reddit was once the same upstart in the shadow of digg. We hope that Apollo and other such Devs will pivot to kbin or other fediverse apps quickly. We just need to be clear on the direction of where we are going. Right now the messaging is not clear. I was on Lemmy before I heard about more questionable areas there which is what led me to kbin.
I mean, you can reach some the more questionable areas from here, too. Lemmy is both a website and server software, as is kbin, and websites running lemmy can exchange content with websites running kbin.
I did not know there was already a website for monitoring which subreddits are dark, thanks for the article!
Oh nice! Thanks for the link. Will be keeping an eye on that site for the next hours/day for sure. Watching the downfall in near real time
