 Now that Reddit has squashed its moderators and killed third-party apps, leaving many subreddits much worse than they were before the company's arrogant moves, it's moving on to make regular users' experience worse. https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/28/reddit-is-removing-ability-to-opt-out-of-ad-personalization-based-on-your-activity-on-the-platform/?guccounter=1

 @f8d9bc1c geez, who needs that abuse? 
 @f8d9bc1c
Yikes. Glad I left

Only a loser still uses twitter or reddit

The communities I was a moderator on are now either unmoderated or still in lock-down waiting admin-engagement. They couldn't find any volunteers to take them over, and the previous moderators were too burnt-out from the daily grind even before the shenanigans of last summer :/

Pity, Reddit was fun as long as it was. Hoping the federated services reach if not feature parity, then at least usability, soon.
