Selfishly I just didn’t want to use the Official App with ads. But once there’s a viable alternative to Reddit, and it’s actually better than Reddit, why would I go back? “hurr durr cause I can get a thousand updoots on my post”. Who cares? It’s about the quality of engagement. I was surprised how many people unironically care about their internet points and tie their identity up with a website.
