Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App Instead

Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".

    I just got banned for saying that I look forward to watching leopards eat James Comey’s face. They took it as a literal call for violence. The only thing that doesn’t make it perfect is that it wasn’t on r/leopardsatemyface.

    I would say reddit has fully gone to shit, but somehow I think it still has a ways lower to sink.

    If you paste this into your my filters tab on Ublock Origin, it’ll block the element blocking you from the page, but yes that’s why I made a Lemmy account, because fuck reddit.

    Can you use the app without a login? It would suck to not be able to access twenty years of troubleshooting help for everything.

    If only Lemmit accepted new subreddits, this would have been a no-issue…

    I’ll miss some subreddits 🤷‍♂️

    Good.

    The more of this they do, the more people move to federated sites.

    It’s crap like this that’s the reason why I started looking for alternatives like Lemmy. Reddit is getting a little too big for their britches.
