Honestly, Jerboa in alpha is already better than the official reddit app for me. It's no TPA reddit app, but the number of contributors (in github) has risen by a lot so I'm expecting/hoping development will pick up and it'll get better fast.

I appreciate the community the most in here. They've been very welcoming and minimal, if any, toxicity.

Like someone has said, we're in a privacy-oriented sub so it's natural (expected even) to expect the hate. Edge/MS really is bad in terms of privacy. So I get the hate.

With that said, privacy concerns aside, I have to agree that its reputation is worse than it really is. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it, but my standard was IE so it wasn't really saying much lol. It's getting bad with unnecessary features, though.

As for being better than FF... well, of course in terms of privacy FF is still better imho. However, I rely on chromium-based browsers for work. Some internal sites I use for work simply don't play well with FF. I do have Brave, but I sometimes use Edge as well.

Is there a good chromium browser anyone can recommend? Is Brave the best privacy-wise? Vivaldi?

Same. It's not about the app anymore. It's about reddit itself.

I am using the upvote as an "I see you, friend".

I absolutely love this. Lol. I never thought of it this way.

Afaik you can't migrate yet. It has been raised, though, but idk more than that. I support migration, tbh.

Jumping ship is the easy part. Now we have to keep this up. Let's make sure this isn't just something that'll disappear in a month or two. Make Fediverse more active than before permanently.

Hi. I'm commenting here because I'm not sure this deserves its own post.

Lately on reddit, lemmy and kbin have been mentioned more as reddit alternatives. While that may be a good thing (free advertising is good, at least), I've seen more than a few people say (unevoqually, imho) that A) lemmy/kbin is bad for privacy and B) they collect data. I've read kbin's privacy policy as well as the devs' responses on github, but is there any other links I can point them to?

It's incredibly frustrating, tbh. It feels like they're out to discredit lemmy and kbin. I've answered a few myself, but there's much more out there. They don't even give a reason. They usually just say "lemmy is terrible for privacy" or "lemmy collects your data." No links, no whatever.

Edit: my last reddit account is going to seem like a lenny marketer if this doesn't stop lol.

Why delete when he can just edit the comments? Lol.

r/askhistorians has a good post about Reddit promises as well as other information about the API change here.

I'm still amazed at how many people I know still think cars are better before because they were "harder to break." Yeah, you can sit on the hood of an old car and it won't do anything to it, but try crashing at 80km/h and you're gonna wish that unbreakable object broke. Anything higher and you might not have a chance to wish for anything. Lol.

The mods just don't want to participate. All of the points they are using are just excuses.

It'll cause problems for people? Like the members have said, if a sysadmin relies on a reddit sub to do their job then they shouldn't be sysadmins.

It doesn't work? The pandemic would like to remind them what happened to some anti-vax/misinformation subs.

They're not political? I guess until the mods themselves are affected?

Now I'm not a member of that sub, but I just checked it out and there's a lot of members disagreeing with the mods. It looks like it's just the mod team's decision and not a reflection of the members' stance.

I'm not putting it past reddit to suddenly backpedal and/or lower the API charges significantly then say they listen to their users/communities. And then slowly push 3rd party apps away. The damage has been done for me.
