I discovered the other night that I couldn't even browse Reddit anonymously with my VPN active.
They've been blocking Vons for years.
The absolute degradation of the site is appalling. And most of the comments read like they're written by children, because I'm assuming most of them are.
The absolute stupidity of everything on the site is flabberghasting.
Oh yeah, since I've been on Lemmy, it's really highlighted just how vacuous the majority of the discourse is on Reddit. I assumed it was just mostly dumb kids, but just accepted it as the nature of all social media these days. It's so much more grown up here, for the most part.
Reddit used to be like this. The enshittification happened so gradually.
There were moments when it intensified suddenly. Most recently when their stock was about to go public.
I don't know then. I can browse Reddit just fine and I'm not using a VPN. It is interacting with the content and commenting I can't do because auto-shadowban.
I can browse when I turn the VPN off. I no longer have an account nor the desire to interact with it's content any way, but I do like to keep up with a few subreddits that have little to no content here.
it's basically impossible for me. I can only get tech help from YouTube or ugh stack overflow now. Maybe 4chan if I'm desperate.
