I would like to remind everyone that the real source for ReVanced is their Github page github.com/ReVanced.
They do not supply APKs and give a cautious warning of pre-compiled APKs. Furthermore, uBlock Origins marks the link of the OP as scam and dangerous, so I would strongly recommend not to use OP’s link but the Github repository instead.
Rather than place all your energy into Reddit, a place that is slowly going down the toilet. Why not put your energy into making this place better? That's using your energy more efficiently. Make this place better, and people will move from Reddit.
Also, it seems a little rude, and awkward to use Kbin for nothing more than a place to organize protests to keep Reddit alive.
Hi I have a similar issue, I'm autistic and can tie myself in knots trying to work out the not-wrong way to interact, to the point where I just give up. So I don't really contribute much at all, however I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone on here and else where. I can also end up editing and re-editing my text so it may come across a bit formal/weird?
The reason why I'm responding to you is that your post resonates with me on a personal level, and I think what you comment is valuable and interesting and useful (not just to me, other quietly, internet lurkers may been here too)
Things are a bit new here for most of us, and I think that's a plus, there doesn't seem to be the pressure to post something 'hilarious'. A lot of posts don't have the enormous, and intimidating comments numbers to get lost in, so it's possible to have a little chat and be on your way
Thanks for being willing to share! I'm grateful for that insight, and to feel like I'm truly not alone. There are many of us anxious pups quietly here on the internet it seems haha. I agree, the newness and true need for good and engaging content makes it much easier to jump in and see what happens :)
It really does. News outlets always do this, though. They use the “topical” words in quotations, regardless of the use or purpose of those words and who paid to make them, and then we only learn about things this way, the words become ubiquitous, and done. Highly paid PR firm with interest in warping the conversation gets their way (as do their wealthy clients).

Best game plan is to just not care about Reddit. It won’t die today or this year, but if the alternatives gets good enough we have a fighting chance long term. Just talking about Reddit isn’t going to get us there though!
I think if the community stays strong and voices our opinion on the recent changes we will be able to make a difference.
Just remember that if the board sees this as a real issue they will have to compromise or totally revert the changes.
I don't think we have to protest that long if everybody is really load about the issues
I believe they want us out of reddit.
And by us I mean those who use 3rd party apps, therefore don't watch ads. Us who have ublock origin on our web browser etc.
I don't get the 'ad' justification. Because, if they wanted to make up for the lost ad revenue, they just needed to charge around 100th of what they decided. Huffman stated they're aware of AI people training with reddit data, and I think it's clear that they're pricing the API to capitalize on AI training, everyone else be damned.
Kbin’s API is only just being finished right now so that explains the lack of third party apps and tools. It’s coming out soon though and Artemis should be out of private beta soon if not already.
But it's just not the same. There are no apps. The format is not reader-friendly. Usability is way low.
Hang in there, there’s an app Artemis coming in the next couple of weeks. I believe it’ll be a public beta so prob lots of QOL thinks to work out, but it’s coming.
Separately, I am personally perfectly OK if kbin is not like the Reddit experience in terms of community and content. I prefer it that way.
you say this when looking at designs, but when actually trying to use the thing no one is amused if they can’t find things in milliseconds. Therefore, predictable patterns for apps have emerged
There's got to be a way to have functional UX without making every single website look and feel literally identical and dull. I'd personally rather jump through some minor hoops if that meant finding some more whimsy in online spaces
I think theres a way - but that being said mobile devices and specifically mobile messaging or calling apps are probably the least friendly to ‘minor hoops’ in the name of whimsy. Its generally assumed by the designer that the person using the app may be juggling many things and actively moving while trying to communicate.
For example, you wouldn’t put ‘fun and whimsy’ into design of an airplane cockpit. All software is somewhere on the spectrum between ‘extremely necessary tool’ and ‘silly thing we made for fun’. You find more creative UX the farther you get towards the ‘for fun’ side.
All of the apps listed in this post are, at least in part, for fun / leisure though. It's true lots of people use them for work, but there's fun stuff built into Slack and Teams (and also a lot of terrible UX) and people get along just fine with those.
I absolutely agree that there's value in having a good user experience, across the board, but it doesn't have to be whitewashed and boring. Agreed that an airplane cockpit is not the place to be making experimental design decisions 😅
Naturally, Huffman explicitly stated in an earlier interview that he did not look to other platforms for examples of how to run reddit. It's safe to assume that anything that comes out of his mouth is lie.
You put a thing in a scanner and the recipient gets a copy through some sort of 3d printing. Just the same shape from plastic at first, but as the technology matures eventually things from a wider and wider range of materials.
Increasing censorship and fragmentation. Other countries follow in China's footsteps and the internet of the future looks more like islands than a global web.
Augmented Reality: similar to how your phone without the internet is increasingly becoming abnormal, so to does experiencing the world without augmentation become an uncommon and alien thing. The internet becomes stereoscopic and omnipresent.
Companion Robots: Now you can touch the internet. Not only do you have your ideal sexual companion, but also a friend and a slave and a savant. For the first time, humans no longer have any advantage over technology. The value of human companionship declines, and birth rates plummet. You rarely browse internet forums anymore, you talk with your companion, who interacts on your behalf and presents a social interface for you.
Neural Link: the is no longer anything meditating your connection to the internet/technology. The internet is as much a part of you as your hand
Artificial intelligence becomes so good that it replaces everything in the internet. You no longer talk to people, you talk to stimulated people. You no longer choose a movie to watch, you describe what you want to see and it's generated live
AI becomes so powerful that there is no need to work. Your neural implants are so stimulating there is no need to move. You have no purpose and no ability to avoid succumbing to the reward signals evolution has hardwired into your brain
