They already blocked it for unregistered users. There's only that annoying overlay, that forces you to install their app.

If I never have to use another Meta service again I'll be very happy. Unfortunately I still have to use WhatsApp because that's all anyone I know uses to communicate...maybe one day.
The experiment just being if you quit?
So the only option will be their own terrible mobile app. thanks, but no thanks!
Fuck reddit man. They're doing all they can to kill it
Holy shit Reddit is apparently trying to speedrun destroying itself. Hopefully lemmy gets popular soon because I think it’s going to stop being a matter of preference and will become necessary
It’s worth noting that this post was from last month before they announced the usurious pricing of the API. However the fact that they were doing this does not bode well for people (like me) trying to avoid using their horrendous app.
I'm 100% sure they're planning on just doubling down on forcing people to use the official app. This plan has likely been in the works for a while.

The mobile browsing experience was a huge shitshow anyway. Randomly refreshing webpage, comments never posting or posting 5 times, expanding comments would work sometimes. They actively nuked it to make people use the reddit app. Fuck them

I think they are just trying to get rid of people that care at this point... Lol.
I had planned to leave reddit by end of June already, and have uninstalled Infinity from my phone a couple of days ago.
But man, this piece of news makes me wish I could do even more to boycott the platform. They are nuts. Enjoy the failure 😉
What a bunch of dickheads, I'll stop using reddit entirely if they keep pulling shit like this. Hope Lemmy eats their lunch!
Experimenting on their own users...
Testing changes on a few users is a common thing and a good practice to see the general acceptance of changes. Its what you should be doing.
