Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps. (kbin.social)

tl;dr — fediverse will only improve from today, while Reddit will only decline.

I've used a third party app (Relay) for browsing Reddit for eight years now. It's what I'm used to, and interacting with the same content in a lesser format feels bad.

I've been using Kbin for eight days, and only know it from the mobile browser. Is it as pleasant to interact with as Relay was? No. But the difference is that it will only improve from here. My Reddit experience is primed only to get worse.

This is exactly how I feel about the Lemmy app Jerboa. Is it perfect? No. But it'll only improve as time goes on.
