I'm pretty certain this is a bug and one that's going to be resolved soon if I'm reading the github PR's and commits correctly.

Edit, and by resolved I mean I believe it should be consistent throughout the app. Some people actually like the different font sizes, though, and they might be out of luck.

Yeah, I'm certainly not going to delete my Reddit account immediately. When Digg was fucking up, it took several rounds and I really made sure I was going to be comfortable on Reddit before I deleted my account there. But once critical mass was achieved, there were major threads on Digg that became literal ghost towns of deleted account comments pretty quickly. It was obvious what was happening. I don't expect we're going to see quite the same massive collapse at Reddit unless they follow up this API decision with killing old.reddit in a month and then dropping all NSFW communities in another month. If they do those things, Reddit is going to essentially die.

On the newest version, you can tap anywhere on a comment to collapse. I like it because it's much more discoverable even if people figure it out by accident their first time.

Interesting, I really had only ever seen it as an insult lol. Thank goodness for context 😂

Jerboa is the Android app.

Tone policing is classist

Apologies if this is something that you think should be obvious to anyone, but I'm genuinely curious what you mean by "classist" here.

I occasionally encounter assholes from all walks of life and prefer to avoid them all the same. I'm actively in favor of reasonable moderation on social media sites to filter assholes out because it's better for my mental health.

Nobody's saying we can't have differences of opinion and disagreements. But I don't think it's unreasonable that we should be expected to engage respectfully or not at all. This is a standard that should be applied equally to all. It's difficult to do, but we should also strive to hold people we otherwise generally agree with on principle accountable if they're being aggressive/hostile/antagonistic because, at best, they're being a bad advocate of our own positions and, at worst, they're being an asshole.

No worries! I just consider myself lucky that most functionality in Jerboa is right where I'm used to it in Boost for Reddit because apparently that was the model 🙂

Yeah, so Newsweek clearly went with a sensationalist title for clicks, but if you read the article, it presents dissenting viewpoints from others who aren't crackpots.

Is your bookmark button not working for this? There's a bookmark button for every post and comment. And then a bookmark section on the nav bar on the main screen.

Are you talking about in a browser or an app? I just started seeing it pop up in a toast notification occasionally in Jerboa this afternoon. It wouldn't surprise me if it has to do with server load issues.

I would actually be willing to pay a small, reasonable monthly fee to not have to see ads and to be able to continue using Boost for Reddit like I have been for the last 7 years with the experience unchanged. What I will not do is pay to use reddit's official app without ads simply because it's going to be the only choice with their horrible fee structure that will kill all third party apps. As soon as they kill Boost, my account there goes dark...
