Reddit is removing the Direct Message feature, and all active conversations will be archived so you won’t be able to continue ongoing conversations. Reddit also deleted all bad reviews for their app awhile ago. Its rating went from 3.4 to 4.5 stars overnight.

    Wait, how did they delete bad reviews for their app? That doesn’t even seem like it should be possible or allowed.

      My guess is that Google recently devalued the negative reviews from the API fiasco because enough time has passed. The reviews are (probably) still there, but those 1 star ratings are no longer in the “average” shown to users.

        The equivalent of this in politics would be grabbing all votes not for your party, and shredding them.

        Should be illegal and the CEO should be fined billions for it.

    Lmao chat is one of the dumbest features they ever rolled out.

    I love how their attitude is always “we made this useless feature, and instead of ditching it were going to get rid of what people preferred and force the hated alternative!”

    Once again proving that the Reddit admins absolutely hate the fact that people use Reddit. They should just shit the site down already.

      I hated both features honestly. I’m there to converse in public, anything you say you can add in a public reply to one of my comments. If it was ever used for honest chat or messaging, I never saw it.
