Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers (old.reddit.com)

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.

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.

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

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.

As if there was somebody on the fence about what direction Reddit is taking. Glad I left

To be fair the mobile browser version was already shit.

@[email protected] can you fix the archive link, please? The one you shared tries to take a new snapshot :)
