Status symbol. That, and many people are horrible with their devices. They drop them and scratch them, crack the screen, chip them.

They abuse them and load them with tons of apps. Fill up the phone with videos and photos. The battery holds less of a charge because many people use their phones as computers and will constantly be cycling it dead 3 times a day or more.

Apps update and use more resources and space. They could just clean up their phone, do a reset, and have a case for protection but choose not to and just buy a new one.

It’s stupid I agree

Even the patched version doesn’t have NSFW though

If two of the same topic is posted, the one in the instance with more people will be higher on the active list than the other, so if you’re subbed to both, you’ll see that one first and interact with it. I’ve seen duplicate topics across several of my subs on Reddit regularly.

It’s about making it more difficult to get access to download all of Twitter for use in training AI. chatGPT was trained using Twitter and Reddit.

I don’t know how long it will work or if you even would bother wanting to continue using Reddit, but I like the fact that people are finding ways to still use their favorite apps.

Here’s a Google doc with a guide on how to patch your favorite reddit app to work, I don’t think RIF is included yet though.

You can save so much money and add so many customization options by switching to android.

I seen this. I’ll have to spend some time browsing the entire thing. So many subs… Can’t support by popular or most subscribed. Lmao.
