I haven't visited reddit since boost stopped working a few days after the API change. Filled the void mostly with twitter. Don't miss it at all.

You stayed on Reddit after boost stopped? I just couldn't force myself to use that shitty app. Not judging there are things I would definitely like to use it for but can't stand that app.

You can patch boost to work again with Android 10+ though there's a tutorial somewhere thinking of using that for things I can't yet find here

Apparently, Reddit didn’t learn anything from Digg

they just want to become as generic as possible lol. "Let's see how much fun we can drain from the lives of our zombies"

This reminds me of the youtube dislike button thing. When a popular majority opinion pops up against the rich, it usually brings lots of gold and platinum awards which drives engagement and visibility. It is not very advertiser/owner class friendly and gives too much power to the masses.

Any new system they create, if any, will not allow this kind of behavior.
