Still work from my machine, but if it happens then that's the end of Reddit for me.
P.S.: To be more-specific, I was already betrayed once. A power-user since ~2007, enough discussion comments to fill literal books, invites to those lame "more than X karma" subreddits... and then one morning I was secretly shadowbanned, everything I'd ever made disappeared from public view--including others' replies.
Mystified, eventually found out what was going on and went to the appeals page. My appeal was granted... but nothing was actually repaired. No information in moderation logs, and if my post/comment was approved by moderators a mysterious force always switched it back later. Now the system claims I don't need to use the appeals page because the account is in good standing. Other routes of filing help tickets, nothing.
Seeking help, I made another account to try some of the help subreddits.... And then that one was killed too. The injustice rankles.
At the same time that they launched a for you recommended feed and set it as the default on the new one.
Reddit built its house out of Digg doing stuff like this - it’ll be interesting to see if someone else comes and just provides a service that cares about its users again.
I'm done on mobile when this happens. I can't stand the new Reddit UI, and it's so buggy in mobile browsers that it's damn near unusable. Like, why is it so bad at remembering what pages I previously visited here? I shouldn't be kicked from a post to Google search, or have to specifically click the subreddit name to view the list again.
