Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Can you use the app without a login? It would suck to not be able to access twenty years of troubleshooting help for everything.

      Digg died because Reddit existed when they started enshittifying. I think Reddit needs a mainstream competitor before it will just drop dead. Until then it will shamble around like a zombie with a bunch of AI powered bots arguing where its brain should be.

          Their moderation policy, unfortunately, turned them into a sewer. I’m pretty sure that hurt them a lot. I get what they were trying to do, but if you don’t kick out the Nazis when you see them, soon you’re “the Nazi place”.

            Yeah but they had real free speech unlike places like X/twitter. Gab has free speech but if your not “right winge christion” you get ignored and or attacked.
