Aaron Swartz (RIP) must be rolling in his grave. F** Reddit. At this point I only visit the old reddit. Once they block it as well, I am never going back.

This makes me want to download their app even less. And at 400+ MB, it wasn't exactly at the top of my list.

I'm getting so tired of Reddit's antics. Also removing content seemingly at random without any meaningful explanation, and ignoring any messages about it. Which both makes mods look bad and is a blatant violation of the Digital Services Act.
