I will not install their app. Period.
I hope it ends up pushing more people here!
👋 hello it’s me
More people
Welcome!! :)
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.
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.
"Here's a bunch of lies. We are going to track the fuck out of your dumb ass."
They’ll kill old Reddit eventually
And then the site will effectively die
I wouldn’t mind if they did it soon tbf. That way I would find other ways to pass the time at work
That sentiment reminds me of this:
Reddit is a shit hole.
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.
September comes early
Fuck u/spez
Good.
The more of this they do, the more people move to federated sites.
Welcome Reddit refugees! (Dumb assholes, bots and shills notwithstanding.)
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
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
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.
It's just websites. I'm not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That's what a browser is for.
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.

Noticed that a couple weeks ago. Does it for Duckduckgo and Firefox but not for Chrome.
About the same time they killed r/All and sorting by top/hour.
I float back and forth between reddit and lemme since the mass exodus but this is probably going to be the end of reddit for me.
More Lemmy signups incoming.
This was the push I needed to delete my reddit account and I did it yesterday
Reddit really sucks. Once you get one temporary ban, the automated system really fucks you at any point in the future.
Their app performs worse than running their website on Firefox. That's a technical feat of its own.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
