    Yep. It’s not that Reddit is unusable in the official app, it’s that it’s a sign of more shit to come. I don’t use other social media for a reason, Reddit doesn’t have the command over my life that they think they do.

      I’ve used Relay for over a decade. That app is reddit to me. I however do find the official app unusable.

      Reddit in particular has very little besides it’s massive numbers to actually keep users on their platform. I don’t use Twitter or Facebook anymore, but at least with those platforms there would be specific celebrity accounts or friends and family that would provide a reason to stay.

      Because reddit was so focused on anonymity, you didn’t need the “celebrity” accounts to move platforms to make the alternatives feel viable. Even with just a small portion of users moving here it feels completely natural.
