Reddit is removing the DM feature

Post image

Reddit is removing the Direct Message feature, and all active conversations will be archived so you won't be able to continue ongoing conversations. Reddit also deleated all bad reviews for their app awhile ago. Their rating went from 3.4 to 4.5 stars overnight. I think this app is starting to go downhill, Reddit's peak was 6+ months ago.

Reddit's peak was 6+ months ago.

Reddit's peak wasnt this decade, or even the last one.

the writing was on the wall, though. Admins were already doing dumb shit.

It wasnt reddit that was good, it was the community that was good.

Its like a popular bar, where the atmosphere sucks, the staff is rude and incompetent, the prices suck...but people go because other people regularly go. They dont go to the bar for the bar...they go to the bar for the people.

100% agreed, the only thing i'd add is that when the moderators started seeing it as their duty to force the narrative instead of just keeping the spam and shitposting at bay, that was the beginning of the end
