Reddit nukes everyone’s pre-2023 chats and messages::Shooting itself in the foot again
Reddit nukes everyone’s pre-2023 chats and messages::Shooting itself in the foot again
Did people actually use the chat feature in Reddit?
the constant spam messages I got say yes. By spammers.
The few times I looked that all I ever saw was spam.
I used it once for that Circle of Trust april fools thing, then never again.
Didn’t seem to be supported in 3rd party app (sync pro anyways) or i probably would have at some point. Probably a lesson there for the fediverse. If a feature exists and you want people to use it, don’t make it invisible(or so bad it should be invisible)
For developers a list of features that people aren’t using should probably be posted and also with a quick gif of it in action so those not technically inclined can recognize them
Chat was specifically a feature that wasn’t exposed via the public API. You had to use the “new” website or the official app.
