With all the migration caused by the downfall of reddit/twitter i feel this Essay brings a nice insight to the table, long but worthy read. (catvalente.substack.com)

the feeling of dredd i’ve had (and i bet many are with me) since reddit announced the changes to the API and elon bought twitter, has been perfectly represented in this essay.

3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st (www.reddit.com)
