Speaking of notifications, that menu used to be just for comment responses. Nowadays Reddit is using it to push me some “popular” posts I couldn’t care less about.
Same here. I had every notifications toggle switched off but direct messages and I still kept getting “recommended” posts. It’s basically malware at that point lol.
With the 3rd party apps I didn’t get exposed to any of this garbage, but now that I have to use the browser, I can’t avoid the tsunami of anti-user features. Quitting Reddit has never been easier.
