  • Yep, I try to upvote everything and comment as much as I can. I’m still confused about how to post to specific instances on Jerboa though. Like I’m typing the name but it’s not showing up in the dropdown

    The most discouraging thing that happened was that when I wrote a long and thoughtdul comment and press send, Jerboa gives me the “java type blabla” error, and I lost everything I typed. Then I don’t wanna type it again and I just give up on commenting

    Hopefully these issues will be fixed soon! As I understand it it’s not even an issue with Jerboa specifically.


  • One thing I wish these news sites would cover is that it’s not only the API changes that people are upset about.

    This was just the straw that broke the camels back. It’s been a long time coming.

    My personal gripes were:

    1. Corporate astroturfing (this is the #1 reason I left, the entire front-page just felt like r/hailcorporate but nobody is aware)
    2. Reddit official app served ads in the damn comment section
    3. Bots of many varieties. Karma farming bots. Politically motivated bots (especially on r/Canada)
    4. Mod abuse (r/antiwork for instance)
    5. Censorship (r/fencesitter for instance)
    6. The stupid NFTs being pushed

    Also, the API situation will make it harder to moderate subs without the tools that were previously available
