I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

      Same. RiF has occupied the top-leftmost spot on my home screen for 3 phones. I removed the icon from my homescreen on Saturday night and I’ve definitely gone to tap the empty space a few times.

      I downloaded two news apps and put them where my Reddit icon used to be and it’s not a bad move because it means I read news instead of just checking comments on news.

        Yeah I was thinking of using Perun’s referral link to Ground News, and sticking it in that spot. Probably only after the end of the month though.
