I haven't deleted my account or anything, but after RIF Is Fun closes it's doors, I will likely be on Reddit very seldomly if at all. Most of my browsing of Reddit has been via RIF since 2015. The official app has always been a slow, glitchy, ad-riddled piece of shit. RIF was like using a mobile-friendly version of the old layout and was 1000% more stable. So instead of finding a way to integrate something similar into the official app and fixing their bloatware, they decide to kill third party apps altogether. You'd think EA owned Reddit by the way they're going about things these days.
No skin off my nose if Reddit ceases to function. The Reddit that exists today bares very little resemblance to the website I fell in love with 14 years ago.
Used the same username. I am envisioning a future in wherein whenever somebody needs to search up something on Google in regards to some tech issue/opinion, instead of putting "best gaming laptop 2023 reddit", they will instead search "best gaming laptop 2023 kbin"

This is from my favorite album by these guys....
Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps.

Did you reuse your Reddit name or create a new one?
I originally went with the same name but have been using this one now since it's new and the idea of starting fresh appeals to me....
