Because I only use web, on mobile and desktop. I can’t live without adblock.
You must log in or register to comment.
Neither. I was banned from /r/Android because I prefer a Google Pixel over a Samsung device (yay, corrupt mods!)
I forgot, and I commented using one of my many alts. I was temporarily suspended from Reddit as a whole for “ban evasion”.
My friends visited, who have Reddit accounts, and when they connected to my WiFi Reddit immediately perma-banned ALL of us, including all of my brand accounts for my company.
Reddit allowing random strangers to essentially get you perma-banned because you prefer a different phone is ridiculous. 🥲
I also got a ban after being on the site for over a decade. In a popular city’s subreddit there was a news article about an FBI agent that had to shoot a pitbull in a park. The pit was not on a leash and started attacking the agent’s dog. The pit also attacked another dog in this park a week prior. The agent shoots the dog and everyone in the comments is going crazy about a wild, dangerous dog being shot.
I said they should’ve nuked the dog and got perma’d. Poof. Ten year account on a throwaway comment, no warning. The mod reported it to reddit admins and then it was removed for “inciting violence”. So now I’m just sitting here with my nukes trying to find a new place to chat.
Also, API calls. lol
That reminds me, before I got perma IP-banned, I got account banned for a comment I made.
It was on a post of someone who died from colon cancer. I commented how important it is to get your ass checked, and that account was perma-banned for “bullying”.
It’s quite interesting to see all of the hate speech and terrible comments on Reddit that don’t seem to get picked up by Reddit, yet here I am, IP perma-banned for the most ridiculous things lol
I used to use RIF and very occasionally desktop via a search engine.
I have moved to 95% web from 95% app.
I don’t use it at all anymore. However if you’d like to continue to use it, id recommend a free and open source app that uses RSS called Geddit on F-Droid. It’s more read only, but who wants to give data to Spez. Not I.
Web on desktop with uBlock, Apollo on iOS. Third-party apps are being effectively banned soon though as they want $20 million per year from third-party app developers.
Old Reddit on desktop, Apollo on iPhone and iPad, and Boost on Android. (Sync and Relay are great, but Boost feels most like Apollo to me.)
Old.reddit with RES and Apollo on mobile- I hate what they’re doing
I’ve never used something different than Reddit is Fun (RIF for Fun now, I guess?) on Android for private use and the ‘normal’ web version if I Google something for work and end up on Reddit.
RedReader! Free, no ads, tons of customization, open source, the absolute bees knees. I just discovered it right before it’s apparently gonna get booted like all the rest of the 3rd part apps. >.<
Apollo. But maybe not for long…
I prefer to do everything in the desktop, so I usually used old reddit with Reddit Enhancement Suite. When I’m out and about, I might scroll reddit a bit on the Boost app for Android. I don’t want to use their official app or new reddit at all.
old reddit with RES on desktop, Infinity for Reddit/Sync for Reddit on mobile. no ads, no chat, no avatars, just plain old text threads.
RIF on mobile most of the time, old.reddit when on desktop the rest (usually when looking up something with a search engine)
You can opt out of the new UI without resorting to old.reddit
most of the time i use sync pro, or occasionally old.reddit when i’m on desktop
me too, sync is the best. The dev just did a huge overhaul to the app, what bad timing…
Omg I’ve gotten 180 notifications for this post alone xDDDDD
It was a timely question.
