Tbh for me the third party client thing was just the cherry on top of the constant barrage of corpo fuckery in general, plus the knowledge of reddit’s IPO and inevitable decline with the way things were headed for a while.

I’m already balls deep in FOSS and started dipping my toes into the fediverse as a whole, so switching off Reddit for me didn’t hurt in the slightest. It felt good. All spez did was give me the reason I was looking for to finally pull the trigger.
