I am a user of the official Reddit app, even though it sucks, and I just deleted it. As an “experiment”.

I’ll probably come back at some point, because I do like being in touch with some of the subreddits.

But I’ll see how Reddit-free life feels for a bit. I find it really offensive that they can have such a trash UX in their app and then shut down the other apps.

The Reddit UI has always felt really hostile, which is fine… I just chalk it up to incompetence. But shutting out people who are more competent just feels way off.
