Some part of our brains knew we were losing the real people. It hasn’t felt right there in awhile. I wonder how many bots we were talking to thinking they weren’t.
I’ve commented more this week than the past year on there.
The comment I saw said it was experimental iirc.
With all the buzz this week I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to force everyone to the app eventually.
Exactly! I was a bit on the fence in the beginning, figured I would survive the demise of baconreader and use the web. Then they played the game with blocking the mobile browser, restoring deleted comments and resubbing, which is bonkers. Now with the latest news, there is no way for me to support this company. After 13 years I am done.
Seeing all the recent posts here about people finding themselves subbed to places they unsubscribed from, as well as deleted comments coming back is what sold me to not return at all.
I haven’t been back except for a few minutes on Wednesday. Most of my subs I was following were still dark. I had unsubbed from all that weren’t participating in the protest (unless for good reason) and may go back to see if I was resubbed, but will not stay. Have also been wanting to use shreddit to delete everything, just haven’t had the time.
Thanks for doing this!
I believe there is a time limit to do that, like 5 years before applying for Medicaid. I am not certain, can’t look for the specific link ATM.
