That's really shitty man, lots of people use Reddit primarily on browser but nowhere does that suggest those users don't know what the fuck is going on...
Isn't browser technically third party app?
joking aside, some of us used Browser and old. reddit.com .
BTW I'm now using Firefox to access Lemmy as well.
I'm also using Firefox to edit all my reddit history on second device as of now.
I didn't leave reddit because I couldn't use third party app or mod tools, I left because I got fed up with being "noise" and taken for granted. Also I dislike monopolistic corporation behavior . They ruined gaming when I used play, they spy on every step I take and want to control everything I bought as they see fit.
You don't have to use the third party apps to know what reddit is doing is fucked up. I never used a third party app, nor did I use a moderation bot. Not to mention people could never have used Reddit before and still use lemmy
A lot of people learned about third party apps from the protests, and knowing how shitty a thing Reddit was doing decided to stand in solidarity and quit Reddit with us.
So please, no need to sound so condescending, it's pretty obvious what's happened here and they clearly do know. Otherwise they wouldn't be here.
