In addition to the other problems raised, it's frustrating that while Reddit itself continues to be open source [1] with significant contributions from the open source community [2], neither of these new apps are (and with no signs of that changing).

- ilyanep 11y agoI'd honestly be happy enough with an open-sourced AB that the community took back on.

That's why I'm very careful what I install on my phone: unlike Reddit posts, I have virtually no control over what the software does.
