A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

What a bunch of dickheads, I'll stop using reddit entirely if they keep pulling shit like this. Hope Lemmy eats their lunch!

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 😉

You mean the app that a significant portion of Reddit absolutely hates? Good lord. ~Strawberry

A few weeks ago, Reddit stopped the one usable mobile interface (.compact). Since then, I stopped visiting Reddit on mobile apart from a few moments of trying out miserable 3rd party apps.

Man, he's so professional. He gives answers that I'd expect a very experienced PR person to give, yet he's just a single-man operation developer.

I stopped using Facebook on mobile and now I only go there occasionally on desktop to read and never post.

Reddit’s getting the same treatment.

Man, they're really trying their hardest to get rid of me.

I literally just had an instance of opening a nsfw reddit link from a Google search and it informed me that I could only see nsfw posts in the app...

If you want to lurk Reddit without being tracked, please use Teddit.net, they won't complain about using a mobile browser.

Is it better to overwrite comments and then delete them, or is just overwriting with whatever message I want to leave then deleting account accomplish same goal of making comments useless.
