It's also been forcing login to access new reddit, so as far as I can tell the site is just completely unusable for anyone without an account.
they want people to use the APP, which is shittier than newreddit on the browser. with the app its more acces to data on your devices(thats how they target/profile people for bans too.)
I'm not talking about on mobile, I mean I'm being locked out of new reddit even on desktop.
I've seen this as well on dssktop. Over Reddit. Lemmy seems less bot ridden anyway
