    Three reasons. Reddit:

    1. Increasingly forcing email upon registration
    2. Some subreddits are unavailable to mobile web-browsers. Forces the app instead.
    3. UI has become insane terrible these last years. Can’t use markdown anymore, cant copy paste when writing comments.
    4. Has censorship issues. Even groups like r/nonewnormel get taken down as if they’re doin something worng.

      I have to issues:

      1. i haven’t found any subreddit that forced me to go to the web browser, everything runs ok from the app.
      2. r/nonewnormal was a pit of missinformation that puts people’s lives in danger, just look at how many unmask, unvaccinated people are dying in the us and how many people are dying cuz covid patients are filling all of the hospital beds. So I’m ok with r/nonewnormal being banned.

        There’s a lot of confusion, you’re right. People are being deceived.

        However, I know of 15 people who died from the experimental vaccine. It’s our duty to share information and help others. Sad they disallowed the community.

          In case 15 people died because of the vaccine, ok, me myself advocate for “If you have a certain medical condition, please go to your doctor for his advice if you should take the vaccine, and if you can’t, at least get the rest of your family vaccinated and wear a mask” That was actually the case for a few of my friends. But thousands of people are getting vaccinated, and they are just fine, im vaccinated myself and I’m fine, as well as my mom, and my 85yo grandpa. 15 out of thousands and thousands of people is a very few number, considering that the vaccine has already been proved to prevent covid, and if you get covid, your survival rate is almost 100 per cent, unless you have other medical condition. NOT taking the vaccine is way more risky, and irresponsible, since the virus evolve in the bodies of the Unvaccinated. r/nonewnormal was advocating for NOBODY to get vaccinated, or wear masks, and spreading conspiracy theories, it was actually harmful, since a lot of people might die because of it, so, again, im glad that was shutdown, but anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and conspirationists will move to somewhere else.
