This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If you're gonna say it's bad you could at least explain the reasoning
That's fair. I used the mobile app, so this may differ for any other user access points. It kept trying to read data that I have already denied, like location and access to sms as two examples. It also kept crashing at odd places. I'm sure there was a pattern, but I didn't stay long enough to extrapolate it. Now, I know that the network is useful. However, at least at the time, the app was garbage and I had had enough of the leaks (as per my firewall) it was causing on top of the already privacy invasive defaults. I don't shame anyone for using it, nor do I think it's "the devil" or whatever. However, I do think the UI for the mobile user at the time was absolutely unacceptable as the official app, and the fact that the mobile web page almost forced you onto the broken app was also unacceptable. As I only ever used it for one community, I didn't spend much time to find an alternative (if one even exists), and maybe that part's on me.
