  • The swipe actions on posts and comments no longer vibrate at all for me on pixel 6a. They did with reddit sync. I’m missing that a lot for some reason, good feedback to know which swipe action I’m on, and satisfying for an upvote. I didn’t know there was a difference in vibration motor vs “haptic engine”, but I’m all for more haptic feedback with the swipe actions.








  • He’s saying the same talking points at every interview and handling this situation like Chris Licht did before he got fired at CNN, had some ideas for change that people weren’t necessarily against but shove it down their throats with out any finesse or flexibility or fairness and everyone is unhappy and it exposed the true motive. Licht \ CNN was being forced to the right by the owner and billionaire investors, and Reddit is just plain forcing out 3rd party apps (that helped build reddit in the first place, and have been open to paying a reasonable amount for api access) to try and boost revenue. My favorite take on all this is from Arstechnica:

    But Reddit’s biggest asset is its community. Charging for its API may be a necessary evil to survive an uncertain future, but Reddit’s attitude against its own community isn’t. Reddit is burning bridges on its quest for cash without showing an ounce of sympathy.
