It was inevitable that reddit would fall victim to enshittification once they went public. Now the line must go up forever so they’ll just copy paste every shitty addictive feature from every other garbage platform.

I want to switch over further but so far I’ve had so much else going on that data privacy hasn’t taken a priority. Things are getting weird now so it is time for a priority change.

To be fair they are a company with bills to pay and they have to shield themselves from being fined or sued. At this point I assume almost everything has been backdoored to hell and I’d rather use the product from the company with better overall terms and principles.

They want to scare people to stay on Chrome now that they discontinued support of uBlock (not that it was ever supported on Chrome for Android anyway)

As of the latest Chrome update on PC, they have dropped support for uBlock. You can still technically enable it, but they disabled it by default once you update.

That got me back to Firefox with breakneck speed.

I almost consider that a feature. Same with the sign up process, it may help keep a lot of bots out.

After the election but most notably after inauguration they started to creep out everywhere, especially into local subs. r/Seattle suddenly had weird narratives being pushed. They did usually get downvoted to hell though and the sub mods have mostly been keeping a handle on it.

Ironically YouTube seems to work better for me in firefox, although the issue in chrome may be caused by browser extensions
