Just reddit being reddit again.....
News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
looks like old.reddit.com still works.
on a desktop, if you try to do it on mobile, you have to zoom in alot.
this is how I've always done it lol (well, since RIF went away). Just more reason to go to Lemmy.
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.
LibRedirect has been able to alter reddit links to redlib on mobile for quite a while, just have to install the extension on FireFox. Or you could just open a link on one of their instances to begin with, if you don't want to use FireFox mobile.
Basically reddit has already lost that fight years ago - 2023 is when we got mobile Firefox extensions

Dreadful man
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 just doomscroll on lemmy instead.
Ain't nobody ever claimed I's a smart man.
Came here to say something similar. Already deleted my account. This just reminds me not to browse either.
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, oh wait america's government is full of pedos they even made a pedo president twice
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!
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?
DuckDuckGo. AI only if you ask for it. Actual results. It’s like 2007 google
Whenever I'm not logged in I see their AI, it's actually much more likely to be accurate than Gemini, probably because the results aren't being filtered through an affiliate list to see if someone is paying to be featured.
Because they paid bank for a data deal with Reddit a little while back so they're damn well gonna try to make that money back with your clicks.
Im not sad I got banned now, its just not a cool place anymore! Here and Discuit fill the void
You mean discourse ?
You mean Discord?🙂
you mean deeznutz?
yes. yes I did🙂
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.
reddit is too slow on mobile website . they deliberately do like this
Sigh I left reddit but I still like to browse in my niche game(s) specific community to see discussion. We need alternative, steam forum isn't that great for some of games, and there's barely any other unless they're top 20 games.
You should check out the lemmy instance https://indie-ver.se/ which iirc was set up be silksong reddit peeps
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.
Thank fuck I said goodbye to that place. A shame to see such a fantastic online community be murdered by capitalists try to squeeze money out of it, but probably inevitable.
