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.

Tiring to see reddits downfall due to corporate greed, just as so many other sites in the past. Honestly surprised old.reddit is still around, seeing how they certainly dont like users using anything but their own inferior app. While spez said it wouldn't go anywhere I have my doubts about that.

This just proves it's not about pricing, just unwillingness to let users choose.

Control is the real currency under capitalism

Talk about mask off, lmao

Monetization at all costs it seems. They really want that IPO bag.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Not surprised. They need to milk every last drop of revenue from their users free content for the upcoming IPO.

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

And they really don't stop comin, eh? Corporate social media sites in general keep shooting themselves in the foot lately lmao, I think we're about on track for a massive revolution in how the internet landscape looks and works sometime soon. Or, that's what I hope anyways :x

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Wow... just "Desktop Version" or if that doesn't work quit Reddit. The app is that awful.

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 dirty move, fuck u/spez, i will not download your shitty client

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

What an amazingly hostile move. It's finally pushed me to delete the mobile app altogether.
