Here’s hoping that they don’t.
“Them” being Threads or Kbin?
It turns out it came out in 2016. I was thinking 2018, but I was wrong. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/official-reddit-app/
In a way, it’s been even longer than that, since they bought out Alien Blue in 2014, according to Wikipedia
I felt Reddit’s quality started going downhill around 2021, which is not long after they introduced the official app and started allowing Google logins.
EDIT: Looks like the official app’s been around longer than I thought. :O
What’s the TL;DW version?
Fuck Meta. We need to vehemently oppose their presence in the Fediverse.
So basically, Google realized they fucked up by tightly integrating their browser with their OS, and now they’re doing what they should’ve done in the first place by uncoupling them.
It’d be badass if someone used this opportunity to make a ChromeOS fork based around Firefox.
