In no particular order:

• Remove API changes
• Remove u/Spez and his lovely executive board
• Make the site a non-profit project without ads, since most of the work is done by volunteers anyway

Oh, and for fucks sake: Remove that shit stain that is the official app from the universe.

And the sad part is that it seems like 99 % of Reddit’s population don’t care the slightest about that and are happily enjoying the ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage Spez wants to shove down our throats.

Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it’s already a pleasure to use.

I used the power delete suite to leave a nice explanation of Lemmy and ways how to migrate as well as a last happy fuck u/Spez on my main account.

My NSFW account has an even more elegant solution: Each and every post or link was edited to a highlight reel of the 2 girls 1 cup video, with no warning whatsoever.

Both accounts have been abandoned in this state, good luck restoring the OG content.

Haven’t found a way either with Jerboa and Connect. Not t sure if it’s possible at the moment.

Ah, I get it now. I was so locked into PC gaming that I wasn’t aware we are talking consoles.

Yeah, the argument gets a lot better on consoles, but I guess physical console games are a dying breed as well.

But just you then just buy a worthless piece of plastic nowadays, because the license key was already added to Steam, GoG or whatever?

Sadly, we have to accept that we are old and a lot of people grew up after the glory days of New Grounds.

I honestly don’t get the obsession with physical media. That’s a thing of the past, my PC doesn’t even have a drive anymore.

The only benefit I see is a reduced download size, but with day one patches sometimes being 40+ GB that’s also not always the case.

It’s not like you own the game, just because you have a physical copy of it. Once the licensing servers are shut down that disk becomes a paper weight, and that is if it doesn’t require a constant connection to begin with.

On the other side you could argue that it’s better for the environment if we finally get rid of all disks. Is it a huge impact compared to everything else? Probably not, but it is a step in the right direction.

What kind of maniac would use a password that’s longer than 60 characters?

I get that password managers are standard now, but anything outside the norm is just asking for trouble. I vividly remember updating a client’s webfrom to reject emojis in passwords, because for some reason people started using them and it wrecked havoc in the backend.

Same. Reddit without Boost or other third party apps is borderline unusable. The official app is an ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage, but if you are planning on selling user data, I guess that helps.

I still visit Reddit on desktop during work, it’s often the top Google result for some of my niche questions, but on the other hand I’m pretty glad to have my year long death scrolling behavior cured.

I don’t use Reddit on mobile anymore and Lemmy is simply not convenient enough with Jerboa’s early stage of development, which means I spend about 90% less time using these apps compared to Boost. My productivity has skyrocketed.

Great foreshadowing of how chaotic it will get when they start to replace actual mods with Spez’s imposters.

I noticed this as well, it’s likely because the app is loading not enough posts to buffer for faster scrolling in both directions.

But I consider it a minor issue, if at all.

Spez must go, that’s out of question, but more importantly 3rd party apps must stay, because the place is borderline unusable without them.

I’m sure he’s already aware and will make an account if he wants to.

There’s no point in shoving the Fediverse in someone’s face.

I hope they will find equally creative solutions like r/pics.

A nuclear one that comes to mind is taking the subs name too literally and turn it into bestgore.

Great to see this, I thought I was simply to dumb to find the gesture or button!
