I avoid downloading apps in general, but in particular social media apps because they make use of many dark UX patterns (notifications, location/data access requests, etc). I'd rather avoid altogether. So I browse reddit, twitter, facebook, instagram, etc from mobile web when I do use them. Your app may promise not to have or add those patterns, but I still won't use it if I don't have it as a fallback. I also spend a great deal of time on my laptop and need the option to use a desktop app or website in order to interact with a social media service.
