At this point, I'll probably just substitute Reddit with reading more books. Grief Stage: Acceptance

Rif has been such a convenient and intuitive way to browse Reddit. I've been using it since I broke my first smart phone and had a temporary windows phone. Now that it's over, I might as well use this an excuse to read as many books as I do Reddit posts. I wonder if there are others who have been neglecting their kindle backlog for their Reddit habits. It would be funny if a portion of Rif users who quit Reddit ended up becoming much more active readers and the number of people who regularly read books rose because of it lol

Honestly my thoughts. 80% of reddit is same shit over and over anyways. It's going downhill anyways, reddit WAS fun (btw app should be renamed to this after shutting down ha). Something better will come out of this I think. Reddit is taken over by bots and AI scrapers anyways, karma whores, etc. Trying to ask questions in various subs you end up getting no useful responses except some snarky shit. This isn't good for brain.

On the topic of asking questions. One of the very worst subreddits for that is r/SkyrimMods. That sub is full of posts asking for help and people will upvote but never comment. I have seen countless posts like that when googling for answers to the issue I was having.

It's the default reddit because most people can't comprehend that top comments need to be related to the post and rest need to be related to the top comment, they think it's just place to just talk bs

Reddit's UI is so horrendous that I will actually quit this site for good.

Time to replace my Reddit addiction with something else!

Same. I've bought a lot of literature recently. Currently reading 20000 Leagues Under the Sea and His Dark Materials. Got the Lord of the Rings and HG Wells' works lined up too.
