It will well and truly be dead and gone once old.reddit.com stops working. It remains the one good way to view the site, regardless of device.

The enshittification continues.

That dumbass app was enough reason why I'm here.

I will not install their app. Period.

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.

"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.

It's pushing this user to not use them any more.

You guys are still using reddit?

Reddit is a shit hole.

Reddit needs to die like digg did

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.

Good.

The more of this they do, the more people move to federated sites.

Fuck u/spez

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

Welcome Reddit refugees! (Dumb assholes, bots and shills notwithstanding.)

Reddit? The porn site?

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

Garbage takes itself out, lol.

After reddit did that mobile app stunt - I created a firefox addon to help reddit refugees move to lemmy:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-deep-lighthouse/

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.

Fuck you spez.

enshittification gets shittier

They're gonna shut down old reddit or make it a premium feature aren't they?

They never learn.

Thats why I'm back here 🐱

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.

Good idea, Reddit.

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.

It's just websites. I'm not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That's what a browser is for.

More Lemmy signups incoming.
