Did it piss off any of you enough to leave the platform?

I only use reddit to look stuff up because Google searches without 'reddit' are completely overtaken by AI-gen garbage

Yes but it sucks that it made searching for posts via redditsearch useless now which was handy when looking for specific AskHistorians posts.

Nope. Didn't affect me in the slightest, and the sub closure "protest" was every bit the failure I knew it would be.

Yeah using teddit frontend and frequent refresh haha. I might have to host my own instance at this rate >.<

Design wise I find kbin pretty good as an alternative just in case reddit somehow manages to piss me off even more.

Nope.

99% of my reddit usage was mobile, and given the official app is still total dog**** compared to RiF I've no intention of going back until I can use it on a decent interface.

I mostly just lurk so...yeah. Changes didn't affect me at all. >_>

Well, I think a bunch of cringey character/gimmick bots got killed so that's always a plus. But the obnoxious "haiku bot" seems to still exist so Reddit didn't go far enough imo

People on here dogpiled on anybody that complained about the closures or said the whole thing was stupid. Now theyre right back to using it themselves.

This board is just full of E-Warriors, out to fight the good fight as long as its convenient and it gets them attention.

Nobody cared as much about that issue as the mods wanted them to care. It was a hilarious waste of effort on their part.

Having to use the official app is a point of friction so I just sorta stopped using reddit entirely.

Probably gonna stop using Reddit after Infinity goes down. All my use is from mobile and after trying the official app I wasn't a huge fan. As for what effect the protest had? I mainly scroll the front page and have notice a pretty huge drop in both post quality and quantity. It has rebounded slightly, but now you mainly see the same 7 subreddits constantly. It definitely feels like the traffic has slowed down as I could check reddit every couple of hours and the front page would be different. Now it's basically the same posts from morning to night.

I mainly only browse the front page (r/popular) and I've noticed a lot of posts have generally less overall engagement, or you'll see posts with a small amount of comments.

Used to felt like everything older than 3 hours had at least like 10k upvotes, but now that feels an exception.

I started using the official app instead of my usual reddit app in anticipation of the change. Of the different reddit apps I've used over the years it actually is the worst one. So the api change is pretty shitty.

I just recently lost my third Reddit account for promoting violence against the rich. Yes, I know how silly that is. Reddit is owned by the rich; rhetoric like that will get shut down with the quickness. But so what? I don't have anything better to do. Anyway, it pales in comparison to how many accounts I lost here.

I still use it, but the protests weren't wrong. The Reddit app is garbage.

The pettiest thing that gets me is that it doesn't have fucking format options. You have to use its dumb HTML tags. And they're not even sensical HTML tags like Game Eff Ay Kews had for the longest time. No <i></i> for italics, you have to put *stars* around words. To this day, there are people that don't know how to mark spoilers because it's >!this bullshit!<

Yep. Haven't noticed anything different at all either beyond that it feels like one sub I go to doesn't spam its bad auto-mod joke comments as much as it used to, which I'm quite okay with.

I stopped using it for a while, but I've been checking it a bit more recently. Only on browser with adblock though. It feels pretty dead compared to before the change tbh. There's an energy change.

There's a LOT more bots, especially on porn subs but even outside of them. It's much easier to write a bot to post without an API than to write a bot to remove specific posts without an API.

Oh, this is true. I've noticed a lot more bits but didn't connect it to the API. Like I've gotten maybe six chat spam requests in the last month which is more than I've ever gotten total

I'm still using RiF with the revanced patch. I'm surprised nobody else mentioned the patches yet?

https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/14nidxs/revanced_has_added_support_for_boost_infinity_rif/

The above guide works, except that instead of following this step:

  • In the Patches section, tick the "Change Oauth Client Id" patch.


You need to select spoof client in revanced manager instead (which I think is the default patch anyway). Around a month ago Reddit put out an update that broke the old oauth client id patch mentioned.

The third party android app I use still works for free, so no change yet. It'll move to subscription fees soon though.

After that I'll see if a patched app is worth it, or just not use the site on mobile anymore.
