If that fucker thinks they can just chill and wait until we come back crawling, they’ve got another thing coming…

Indefinite blackout is so fucking stupid stance in my opinion. It is between reddit and the owners of 3rd party apps. Let the fucking subs live so we can get what we want from there

Or just get it here… r/piracy was always precariously close to getting banned anyway. I’d be shocked if it didn’t get banned before IPO.

If the native app was better, you wouldn’t have millions of users using 3rd party apps. Apollo alone had 1.5 million users.

you can definitely stop using reddit once the 3rd party app goes dowb btw reddit native app has more than that so either use that or tell your third party creators to pay the money

How is the first party app better, exactly?
