So the only option will be their own terrible mobile app. thanks, but no thanks!

What a bunch of dickheads, I'll stop using reddit entirely if they keep pulling shit like this. Hope Lemmy eats their lunch!
What an amazingly hostile move. It's finally pushed me to delete the mobile app altogether.
Reddit: "I wonder how many ways I can kill my platform at the same time?"
Of course they are, gotta make everyone use the shitty app to farm as much data as possible!
At least the messaging is clear by the CEO: f*ck you, reddit users
A few weeks ago, Reddit stopped the one usable mobile interface (.compact). Since then, I stopped visiting Reddit on mobile apart from a few moments of trying out miserable 3rd party apps.
The mobile browsing experience was a huge shitshow anyway. Randomly refreshing webpage, comments never posting or posting 5 times, expanding comments would work sometimes. They actively nuked it to make people use the reddit app. Fuck them
I had planned to leave reddit by end of June already, and have uninstalled Infinity from my phone a couple of days ago.
But man, this piece of news makes me wish I could do even more to boycott the platform. They are nuts. Enjoy the failure 😉
As if there was somebody on the fence about what direction Reddit is taking. Glad I left
And they really don't stop comin, eh? Corporate social media sites in general keep shooting themselves in the foot lately lmao, I think we're about on track for a massive revolution in how the internet landscape looks and works sometime soon. Or, that's what I hope anyways :x
As if it wasn’t bad enough to ask if I want to use the default mobile app every time I go to a Reddit page on my mobile web browser. 😕
Reminder that even though reddit tried to remove the compact site, it's still available through https://reddit.com/.i
