It will well and truly be dead and gone once old.reddit.com stops working. It remains the one good way to view the site, regardless of device.

    My theory is that they realize that a significant number of power users on the site are still using old.reddit.com, so they are keeping it going because getting rid of it would turn the website into a ghost town. They will continue to push their app and new website because they can push more advertising through it to the people that are just there to consume.

    You think there are still redditors around?

    I think it's just troll farms and bots. Every once in a while someone stumbles into the site and says something. THEN there is a whirlwind of answers/speculations/theories/lies.

    A.I is running the show. If I use a certain word or phrase I get filtered. If I say the exact same thing without those "catch phrases" then I see a few votes.

    I treat the site as a test site for trying language that gets PAST the trolls.

    One thing I've noticed lurking on AITA is that there's suddenly more people casually talking about being religious. Not like overtly preaching like you'd see in the past, but more people referencing going to church or doing things for religious reasons.

    It just seemed out of place and weird. Like the tone of that part of the internet suddenly changed. It's still more liberal than conservative, though that conflict seems to be mostly just not present, perhaps in part because of their rule against political topics, though even when some slip through, it does seem to lean more liberal or even progressive than conservative. Like plenty of abortion support, no broad support for tribal or hierarchical judgements. But it suddenly seems more religious. Christian, specifically.

    Maybe its too on the nose to say so on Lemmy, but fuck Reddit right in the earhole. Their pearl-clutching, risk-averse, pro-corporate moderation-bot and tattle-tale system was the last straw.

    "These users are already familiar with Reddit and we've seen that the experience is much better for them in the app. The app offers a more personalized experience and users can more easily find communities that match their interests."

    Lmao. The personalization is exactly what I don't want, so fuck off. Also, it's pretty easy to circumvent. I'm sure there's multiple ways, but I just go to old reddit.

    I hate reddit. They blocked all of my accounts for no reason. And they're so vague explaining why, and when I tried to appeal, the whole site crashed. Literally joined Lemmy yesterday.

    I expect another migration from reddit to lemmy. I'm not saying we are going to explode, but expect some new people in the next few weeks.

    Good.

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

    Next, they will stop allowing to register with random email without confirmation

    Edit: jut found out they already did it lol. Then next step will be to require phone number for all new accounts

    If you're on Firefox, download a user agent plug in and change your your browser to say it's a tablet or windows pc. Problem solved. I already do this when their page locking pop-up started bothering me lol

    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.

    Noticed that a couple weeks ago. Does it for Duckduckgo and Firefox but not for Chrome.

    About the same time they killed r/All and sorting by top/hour.

    I float back and forth between reddit and lemme since the mass exodus but this is probably going to be the end of reddit for me.

    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.

    It's just websites. I'm not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That's what a browser is for.
