I have to say, this war on Old Reddit is doing wonders to curb my Reddit use.

    It's actually amazing how quickly it killed my usage of the site. I deleted my account years ago but still lurked every now and then. Now I literally can't go back, I won't download the app and the new site layout is pretty much unusable for me.

    Also the "you must use the app!!!!" banner that appears after 30 seconds is fantastic on mobile, as they are actively preventing me to continue reading and doomscroll.

    It's like "no! Bad dog! You already got your info. Now close your tab and go back to Lemmy"
