Deleted my account today. Their website is unusable on desktop or mobile. Their android app is also terrible. Infinity for android was really nice to use and made using Reddit a pleasant experience.
But then I’m get drawn in to looking at the Popular/Trending stream and it was doing my head in. Third party apps couldn’t filter this to a country specific stream so it was only US content that I am not interested in. Honestly it seems like a shit show over there and I don’t need to be bombarded with such negativity especially when it’s not relevant to me. And switching to use the Reddit app was not going to happen.
I tried Lemmy out at the start of the blackouts and have found it a much more pleasant place to be. I can self host it too, which is a bonus.
I haven’t missed it and it’ll just be one of those places I once went.
