Shit man, BaconReader was the first Reddit app I downloaded. I eventually settled on RiF but this is just sad.
Fuck spez.
On a whim I decided to give the official app a try because a lot of people will be forced to use it, if they decide to stay on Reddit.
Holy hell, it's just slow. Can't scroll through a subreddit without annoying hitches and stutters. Comments aren't any better also.
On the other hand, Sync is just fucking gorgeous and runs immensely better than the encumbered official app.
How can apps made by small teams or even a single person be better optimized than one supposedly made by a larger team with a larger development budget?
Some on Reddit are celebrating this because "mods bad"
Meanwhile, I'm a Redditor for 10 years and haven't been banned once, nor have any bad interactions with mods. The first thing I follow rules and second I barely interacted with mods in the first place because I'm not an asshole. I don't QQ because they removed my low effort meme or hate speech or whatever.
Simple as.
It's also interesting the sentiment on non-Reddit platforms are more pro-user than pro-spez.
My biggest pet peeve are auto manufacturers adding fake shifts to CVTs.
Not only it feels and sounds awful, then what's the point of a CVT then? I know "regular" drivers aren't used to it but it's a freaking CVT. That's the whole point.
I replaced my RiF shortcut on my homescreen with Dropbox and I keep reflexively tapping on it. I got to work on that habit.
