    My favorite Reddit app was killed (RIF), but I stumbled into Red Reader. For some reason Reddit still allowed it to continue. It’s not bad.

      I felt like I wanted to be part of the solution by stopping my usage of reddit. I didn’t want to continue to support a site I fundamentally disagree with on how they handled their monetization strategy by screwing over so many people.

      At this point, I no longer doom scroll reddit or even lemmy and it feels good to not waste my time doing so.

        Same.

        I actually feel that my stubbornness has made my life better in this case.

        I’ve been to Reddit since, but I no longer feel the need to scroll it. I just use it when I went to find a genuine human recommendation on a topic.

      Hmm, I was curious about this so I looked:

      It has been agreed that RedReader falls under the exemption for non-commercial accessibility-focused apps, due to the work that has been done to optimize the app for screen readers, and the app’s high level of usage within the blind community.
