I want to leave Reddit completely so bad. They're ruining such a good thing, I was a member for 13 years. I hope Lemmy kinda just naturally replaces it for me but I'm sure there's some stuff that's just the best to go to Reddit for, I hope that changes slowly and people start using Lemmy or something else. But hey im here and it feels pretty good. Feels kinda like when I found Reddit for the first time all those years ago. Hello everyone :)

The API issue was a huge nail into the coffin of the user experience at reddit. For sure, mobile site will disappear and then old.reddit.

Everything about this is utterly tone deaf, you can see it in u/spez answer in his AMA about how the company will continue to be profit driven until it’s profitable. Bro, this is not how you talk to your user base. Your actions, policies, and strategic outlook should be toward driving the user experience and your service so that it is profitable. Not degrading all things for grinding down every extra cent at the expense of your entire companies differentiators.

Fuck spez, fuck reddit.

this is a beginning of the end for reddit as we know it

GLaDOS-Voice: This test chamber involves heavy ad-tracking and how test subjects react when locked in a shitty mobile app.

Wow. They really can't read the room.

It's funny you post this. Not more than 5 minutes ago I was trying to figure out what was wrong with Firefox on my phone. I kept trying to login over and over again on mobile and it didn't work.

A week or so ago, I really felt like read it was nearly an S tier social media platform. It's heartbreaking to see it completely destroy itself. It's nearing Twitter in how bad it works.

What awful timing to run this experiment.

They just keep digging

Fuels on the flames huh? Got to love their tactical timing with this. Let's piss everyone off in every possible way?

It's almost like Elon bought Reddit as well as Twitter the way this is going.

Wow, I am surprised they would go this far if I'm honest. Are they actively trying to piss off literally everyone?

It's like they're trying to kill the platform

They're really trying to speedrun killing their site lmao

Alrighty, they aren't even trying to be subtle anyone

Or many they still are, in which case wow thats kinda sad

@lynny It's like they don't even want users anymore.

And what about people who don’t want to install an app for a variety of reasons?

They already made the mobile site practically unusable by constantly reminding you to use the app. The mobile browsing experience was just terrible. They can just show the same adds in the mobile browser...

Reddit is dying in flames, and I couldn't be happier.

Awesome, they're making even easier to not go back there.

It's all part of the plan to make their horrid app experience the only way to view Reddit content on mobile, in order for them to get not just some user data, but ALL the user data.

TBH this is nothing new. They already randomly restrict you from viewing any type of nsfw content on the mobile browser version. It prompts you to download the app with no option to close the prompt.

What a great time to get off Reddit

Reddit speedrun to ruin their site

so in response to subreddits doing a blackout reddit decided to do its own blackout that will effect those who aren't participating in the blackout. Genius 5d chess right here people, some might even call it a sepuku.
