Germany has more castles than the United States has McDonald’s. This is the Eltz castle, located in Wiershem. It has been owned and occupied by the same family for 33 generations over 800 years

I'm old and it still weirds me out when people call Reddit an app.

It’s been awhile since I’ve used it on PC.

I use a tablet and use a browser with old.reddit.

I only use reddit on my laptop and I used to only use "old" reddit, but they've made some recent changes that make it impossible to browse "old" reddit without being logged in.

So that's forced me to use "new" reddit when I'm not logged in and it's absolutely insane how bad the site is. Like, it just doesn't work; it constantly freezes and glitches out entirely, I'm repeatedly having to refresh just to see anything and it's just crazy. "Old" reddit works great. "New" reddit is a trashfire. How did that happen? Why has it not been fixed by now?

I'm absolutely baffled by reddit investors. I feel like they have to be completely clueless about what a disaster this place actually is.

It’s still weird to me because an app is a way to access Reddit. But Reddit itself is not an app.

It’s like calling a movie “cinema”.

Exactly. Also who talks about apps like it’s 2013?

Exactly. Reddit is a website (and I still use old.reddit if I'm on a PC). I use the Dystopia app to access Reddit on my phone, but that doesn't make it an app. It's just a means of hooking into the API to get to it with a different interface. Apps are self-contained pieces of software on a phone or tablet. I also refuse to call a program on a PC an app, which I have seen.

I have only used it on a phone a few times. I feel bad for y'all who have to use the inferior version.

They could use a browser like the smart ones do. For some reason, old reddit stopped displaying properly on the browser I use. So, I started using a different browser on my tablet. I'm disabled and bedbound. So, I haven't used a pc since 2019.
