Just reddit being reddit again…
looks like old.reddit.com still works.
3 days tops before some reverse engineers the app and makes a proxy website. You won’t win this fight, spez. You will just lose in the most expensive way possible.
It works really well for me actually. Every time that mobile app begpost comes up it’s a great reminder that I shouldn’t even be looking at Reddit at all. Cut down my doomscrolling on my phone immediately.
I got permabanned this week for saying “Poor white people are being tricked into blaming black/brown/trans people for their problems instead of billionaires.”
Apparently it was promoting hate based speech and attacks.
Reddit was kinda neat 15 years ago, it’s a fucking cesspool now.
I just use desktop agent on my phone if there’s a good answer to something on reddit, but honestly it needs to die and we need to use fediverse more for discussions.
Reddit is not dying fast enough
I read ghislaine maxwell is back as a moderator on world news … and why the hell isn’t america going after the youth obsessed model world full of predators? Hello its time for frickin regulations

This wouldn’t bother me at all if reddit didn’t appear at the top of almost every damn question I Google nowadays. Why are you pushing reddit for answers if you won’t let me see them?
Reached for comment, the company instead offered a puzzling explanation: that the site-breaking popup is for users’ own good.
Fuck you reddit, fuck /u/spez!
Users do anything but stop using reddit
Many of us here stopped a while back. For me, it was the API thing a couple of years ago. But it’s still useful to check reddit website for info - there’s just so many answers to so many questions on there. But fuck using their app.
Then there’s some of us who simply got kicked out of the Reddit realm altogether
I would have switched sooner if I had known about lemmy, but been here over a year now.
It took time to get to this point. The software had to mature and a lot of people wouldn’t stay around with so few choices of communities, but you can count on /u/spez to keep enshitifying Reddit, so Lemmy stays growing.
The API thing was the final straw for me as well.
That’s my situation. I nuked my comment history with a script when it was obvious they wanted to profit off of ai scraping. I still look at old reddit.com in my desktop, but I don’t touch it on mobile.

👋 I stopped using reddit last week.
The way they are banning people for barely nothing, people will be stopping using it quickly

Once again I am reminded of an old coworker. He’d talk a good game about caring about things, but when it came to the slightest inconvenience he’d dither and usually just do the basic thing. Still an avid reddit user, last I heard.
there are too many hyper local subs on there to stop reading it entirely… I’d love to even get state level channels on lemmy, but there are only a few.
Im not sad I got banned now, its just not a cool place anymore! Here and Discuit fill the void
cant exactly be shocked by this, when the masses so willingly accept and adopt much more invasive, information harvesting and profitable apps instead of just using websites.
