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.
Makes sense tbh, having two separate systems of private one-on-one communication wasn’t that logical.
“makes sense” would be removing the chat that never should have existed in the first place.
Yeah ok sure, but given that the chat existed this isn’t surprising. I’m not enamoured with Reddit’s choices (obviously, we’re on Lemmy), but the reaction here feels pretty dumb.
It makes sense if you want to force users to use the app. It’s what put the nail in the coffin for facebook for me.
im surprised they even kept it this long, considered even bots gave up on it.
