Technology

It's just websites. I'm not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That's what a browser is for.

Fuck Reddit, fuck spez, fuck all the mods on that site. Nuke it from orbit

The interesting thing is that it does not look like a permanent/always thing. A couple of days I also got these Pop-Ups (which you can circumvent by using "Desktop-Mode" in your mobile Browser) but I do not get them anymore. Is some kind of A/B testing ongoing or did they remove the changes?

True !

It will well and truly be dead and gone once old.reddit.com stops working. It remains the one good way to view the site, regardless of device.

The enshittification continues.

That dumbass app was enough reason why I'm here.

I will not install their app. Period.

Maybe its too on the nose to say so on Lemmy, but fuck Reddit right in the earhole. Their pearl-clutching, risk-averse, pro-corporate moderation-bot and tattle-tale system was the last straw.

"These users are already familiar with Reddit and we've seen that the experience is much better for them in the app. The app offers a more personalized experience and users can more easily find communities that match their interests."

Lmao. The personalization is exactly what I don't want, so fuck off. Also, it's pretty easy to circumvent. I'm sure there's multiple ways, but I just go to old reddit.

It's pushing this user to not use them any more.

Reddit is a shit hole.

You guys are still using reddit?

Reddit needs to die like digg did

I hate reddit. They blocked all of my accounts for no reason. And they're so vague explaining why, and when I tried to appeal, the whole site crashed. Literally joined Lemmy yesterday.

I expect another migration from reddit to lemmy. I'm not saying we are going to explode, but expect some new people in the next few weeks.

Next, they will stop allowing to register with random email without confirmation

Edit: jut found out they already did it lol. Then next step will be to require phone number for all new accounts

Good.

The more of this they do, the more people move to federated sites.

Welcome Reddit refugees! (Dumb assholes, bots and shills notwithstanding.)

Fuck u/spez

Reddit? The porn site?

Garbage takes itself out, lol.

After reddit did that mobile app stunt - I created a firefox addon to help reddit refugees move to lemmy:

If you're on Firefox, download a user agent plug in and change your your browser to say it's a tablet or windows pc. Problem solved. I already do this when their page locking pop-up started bothering me lol
