  • Something I wish back on Boost for Reddit was a separate free app and a paid separate app without ads and trackers, but it’s something Google apparently doesn’t allow anymore. Reddit is fun was able to have reddit is fun gold because they had the separate app before the rules went into affect.


  • That’s nice thing about rss too. With Feeder on Android it has blocking filters to apply the same keyword based filters. Useful if you have a broad rss source that pulls from various sources and find some sources useless. And there’s categories you can set to separate things out so there’s like tech news, game news, international news, economy, etc. And with compact view it looks like a traditional social media subscription feed, and I find myself actually reading the articles with the comments not being the draw with none to begin with.

    I found rss has been the best way to stay up to date over user curated articles that itself has its own biases in what they choose to submit. Just seeing the list of news from even one source without some voting or submission based algorithm at play kind of showed how much people submit the most clickbait or attention grabbing articles to try to get karma. Especially some instances depending on how politically driven they are to push their agenda to everyone. So rss has seemed preferable for a very broad look to see what’s going on with current events. Has been the best delivery system I’ve found on the internet so far with more a time of published based feed than a curated algorithm of social media.






  • I just remembered how waiting two freaking years to get the ending that Got did made it so much worse than if the airing of final season hadn’t been so dragged out.

    Really glad I just got Aot over with quickly by reading the Manga over waiting however many years it’s been since they announced the “final season” to get the ending that it did. It would have been another GOT type disappointment, since if I’m made to wait that long then I’m expecting something legendary like I did for GOT.


  • Certainly. Waiting two years for Game of Thrones. Two very long years then getting the ending that it got made it so much worse than if the wait and reveal hadn’t been dragged out.

    So glad I just finished out Aot through the Manga and got it over with for the ending that was certainly an ending over however many years this show has been dragged out for and still not concluded for the ending that is an ending.





  • Why bother going through all that trouble of continuing to provide reddit account based information, and then being tempted to engage with the platform and add value to it by providing comments for other people to reply to. Like the reddit yearly highlights is enough proof of much data they collect on users.

    I say just settle for Stealth if you want to use reddit on mobile. It’s a reddit app that has no option to log in so is a pure lurk mode app. You can subscribe and save posts locally and export it the way newpipe works. It uses teddit instances or a web scraper to access content.
