Yeah, I know I can.

I was trying to use it "as intended" without the .old prefix just to see if it was any less shitty on an actual phone.

[–] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah it still sucks. In fact, I would say it's worse. I believe these days as intended is using the Reddit App, which I will never install.

It really does seem like deliberate turbo enshittification to try to coerce people into submitting to the bazinga app under a vague promise of less enshittification.

I hate techbros so much.

It seems like that because that was exactly what happened. They killed the 3rd party apps then released their own shitty app

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Their shitty app was out for a while before they killed the 3rd party apps, but nobody used it because it was so shitty.

The reddit app is still better than every single lemmy frontend

This is wrong. Reddit app has ads, collects data, no UI customization, ect and runs like ass on old phone.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

It has ads in it, so that's definitely false

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

half that and half it being a super waste of time and money to make their web UI work well on small screens on mobile browsers which already don't work very well in general (and the web doesn't in general either).
