I know it's not great, but is it really THAT bad? Is it honestly worse than navigating Lemmy?
Don't get me wrong, I'm DONE with Reddit. But is all of this really just because they don't like the official app or is there something more?
The app is riddled with trackers and unnecessary analytics. I've heard people talking about their PiHoles creating multi GB log files a few days after installing the app because there is that much crap being filtered out.
For me it really is that bad, yes. I could stand to use it for a sum total of 30 seconds before I had to return to RIF. It felt like I was scrolling through Instagram or some other cancerous app like twitter.
Yes. Calling it a garbage heap is giving it too much credit. It's unusable.
