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.
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.
The patched 3rd party apps were the first that came to my mind… Gladly I barely use the DMs feature, even less the chat feature lol.
