    Hey, that's me.

    I tried after the API bs a couple years ago, but there wasn't a lot of traffic so I just went back to lurking sans account.

    After this BS I'm fully on here now. Fuck that propaganda machine.

    Well, until lemmy gets the superniche, hyperlocal communities that some of us look at on reddit, that’s going to be a problem…

    Listen I'm at least POSTING in the lancer ttrpg community here Edit: point being, even if I got no traction, making an effort to get community bubbling up in those spaces before resigning yourself to looking on reddit is the only way any of them will get started

    It's almost like they don't want you to be in Reddit when you are popping at work, they are now working with tech to make capital happy. More units pers labour!

    I haven’t been able to log in from my office, using a cloud browser over a vpn, for several days. Different error message every time.

    They're trying to get humans off Reddit and replace them with bots. They make money from ad revenue, and people just aren't as guaranteed to click through as much as bots can be programmed to.

    Curiously, gaming the ad revenue system is the same reason Musk won't ever do anything about the bots on Twitter. Well, that and they stroke his ego.

    Well, that was the push I needed to start searching for more sources for information. Getting cockblocked as I’m trying to learn is just not something I’ve ever expected to happen.

    Reddit has removed the option for account holders to default to old Reddit. Reason this was good since not all reddit links go to old.Reddit by default.

    Every machine I turn on which defaults to the new Reddit, and doesn’t let me roll back, gets logged out of.

    I only have 2 devices left before I stop using Reddit.
