It only resolves the usability issue, not the morality issue.

I suppose if you use old Reddit and block ads they're not making money directly but it's still traffic.

I always used old Reddit anyway, I left because it turned to shit not because of a particular app.

I only ever used 'old' reddit. Every time people design a new flashy interface it gets shitter. There's a technical term: enshittification that reddit is going through right now.

I love the Lemmy interface. It's basic, flat, responsive, and not overwhelming with shit everywhere.

I’m not that concerned about the morality issue tbh. I want to browse content without ads and with a ux I enjoy. Reddit at its core is just a collection of forums and many of those forums are still active. I no longer can access those communities on mobile thanks to these changes, but old Reddit + RES + adblocker means that I can still browse on my computer. If this goes away then I’ll say goodbye to those communities, but since these communities haven’t migrated to Lemmy I’ll keep browsing.
