I've just had it with the Reddit experience, forcing an algorithm on me was the end.

    It was already shit before the API exodus in June 2023 thus killing alienblue and other loved clients…

    Was an OG user from inception. Haven’t been back since. Any time I want or need to view certain things (seldom) RedLib instances work well. You can always set up an rss feed from one and get chronological content if you wanted.

    https://redlib.catsarch.com/ is one of many that has been stable for awhile.

    Didn't they kill RSS?

    redlib (while permabanned) is a bit like being kicked out of the bar and staring back in through the window. You can look, sure, but a bar is about interacting and getting drunk. You are doing neither.

    Given how the site has legitimately gotten worse since I was kicked off it back in May, I'm actually kind of glad I got off the ship before it went to pot. Besides, I don't want to just make another account. I want MY account. It's a matter of principle even if I never go back.
