It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

    Which would be fine at all, you know. It’s their platform and their servers, and they can do what they want.

    Except for the fact that the official app is several orders of magnitude more primitive, inefficient and uncomfortable to use. Even more so for Android than for iOS

      Also for the fact that they lie through their teeth and can’t even give the decency of honest business.

      Why the fuck would we trust these idiots with our data/hard work?

        Which is why people should scrub their comments. A lot of people are holding on to “The good times.” with their posts and comments. It doesn’t matter if reddit can technically undo the work, I’m still going to check and make sure it stays gone. Without that content, reddit is nothing.

          To be honest, I respect that position, but I don’t hold enough contempt against them to do that, and on the other hand I do value Reddit as an archive of online knowledge and debate. I can just leave it if I don’t want it in my life anymore. I would like any comments I made on specific topics I’m knowledgeable about to be accessible and used as reference in the future.

      Who gives that platform value? Who fills it with content for them to profit off of? Who moderates it for them, for free?

      Users.

      And they should be able to interact with the site they built up however the hell they please.
