EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!

"What the users want" my ass. Reddit doesn't give 2 shits about what the users want.

r/interestingasfuck removed as well
The most mindboggling thing about all of this to me is if Reddit had just improved their own app to be up to par with the multitude of 3rd party apps out there, none of this would have been an issue. They could've migrated everyone over to the official app easily with just a better experience. If a single person can wrangle an app together that outperforms the official one in a month, Reddit has no excuses. Personally, I'm delighted all of this has happened, as it's allowed for multiple viable alternatives to be populated. Which I've been wanting for a very very long time.
It really could have been a symbiotic relationship with the third party app devs. But Reddit went all psycho and seems to have taken the API push back personally.
Making a better user experience is fundamentally incompatible with Reddit's goal, which is to forcibly milk users for ad impressions. A first-party app better then the third-party ones was never going to happen.
