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?

[-] deathbird@mander.xyz 21 points 2 days ago

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

I just got banned for saying that I look forward to watching leopards eat James Comey's face. They took it as a literal call for violence. The only thing that doesn't make it perfect is that it wasn't on r/leopardsatemyface.

I would say reddit has fully gone to shit, but somehow I think it still has a ways lower to sink.

If you paste this into your my filters tab on Ublock Origin, it'll block the element blocking you from the page, but yes that's why I made a Lemmy account, because fuck reddit.

Good.

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

Reddit really sucks. Once you get one temporary ban, the automated system really fucks you at any point in the future.

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

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 days ago

I'd say it's responsible for at least 75% of us being here!

Any websight pushing stuff like this I refuse to use. I use a degoogled phone so many apps don't work and I use the web browser.

The enshittification continues.

[-] diplomatic_immunity@lemmy.zip 41 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

lemmy is way better than reddit

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

It's way worse for hobbies that aren't Linux and normie-interest things like sports. Even things like Magic: the Gathering or the NFL or gardening have almost no traffic here.

[-] ericdavidmorris@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

yeah there are still some communities on Lemmy that couldn't migrate from Reddit, and it sucks to have to return to Reddit to participate with them

This was the push I needed to delete my reddit account and I did it yesterday

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

This is what finally did it? I stopped mine when they killed anything but their shitty app, but also when it became clear just how "freedom of speech" they weren't.

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

So did most of us. No reason to be hostile to someone who took more time but still committed. The day they monetized the API was the 3rd best day. Today is the 4th best day.

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.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 41 points 4 days ago

You forgot to mention their being the cuckold of Israel, or perhaps the Gimp. Fuck Reddit better dead than Reddit is a username says on here.

"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.

If only Lemmit accepted new subreddits, this would have been a no-issue…

I’ll miss some subreddits 🤷‍♂️

There's other instances, and you can interact with subs on other instances just fine. That's the whole point of activitypub. So if you really miss those subs, maybe see if they're available on other instances?

It's crap like this that's the reason why I started looking for alternatives like Lemmy. Reddit is getting a little too big for their britches.

[-] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Their app performs worse than running their website on Firefox. That's a technical feat of its own.

[-] suburbanl3g3nd@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

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
