      Yeah, killing off the apps was particularly annoying because they had the worst one and instead of improving it to get more people on it, they killed the other ones off.

      Other reasons for me:

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Spez saying that reddit owns all the content and no-one else can have it. No. It’s our content. Spez loosing his shit over apps that made money because he should have all the money because he deserves it for being such a self absorbed narcissist.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Website pushing the app desperately annoyingly hard. Every third post would have a clickaway telling me it was best viewed on the app. Taking away the option that turned that off when you’re logged in.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Making www.reddit.com different in a bad way on mobile, then killing mobile.reddit.com off when it had been OK on mobile.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Tankies taking over my local centre-left party’s subreddit and banning people for suggesting that we should vote for that party. I kid you not.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Shutting down communities for protesting, replacing long-standing successful mods.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Shutting down communities for being “unmoderated” when the truth was that he didn’t like the content and disagreed with some of the moderation policies.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Building a commercial empire on top of a lot of user generated content and then turning against the users.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Nagging me all the time to use the official reddit app.

      Not just the apps, but the mobile website as well.

      They made it more burdensome to use every time to push people to their app.

      Switching to Lemmy on mobile was so refreshing. I didn’t even need to switch my browser to display the desktop version.
