I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don’t want people to use their shit anymore. I’m starting to believe in the dead internet theory.
Can you guys stop talking about your ex ? You’re with lemmy now, forget about the old bitch.

Lol yeah I can’t get on it at work anymore. Goodbye to all the traffic they get from people looking for tech advice on corporate networks. Fucking morons.
i’ve never had an office job but it’s extremely obnoxious they seem to regularly filter the internet like you’re in school. there were so so many important resources (including youtube) which had legitimate educational and technical value they’d take away as some bullshit austerity ritual
A shame you had lame tech Bros at your job. Ive had a couple office jobs and they both restricted a ton of stuff but they left reddit open.
That isn’t the issue here. I agree with you, but in this case the filter is on Reddit’s side. It is common and justifiable for corporate machines to use a vpn. Sometimes public traffic doesn’t go through, but not always.
Every time I see that stupid little alien, I change my mind about visiting. I see Spez’s smug grin on that stupid little goo blob avatar and it just makes me want to find my info anywhere else.
All jokes aside, fuck that greedy sociopath.

Anytime I think about making a comment if I happen to be on reddit researching a niche thing, I think “do I want to give Spez $5? FUCK NO!”
He can make his own content. I couldn’t imagine putting in a thankless job moderating and watching that shitter slide up to the bank to withdrawal your free time and effort.
Tech companies are now the hot new thing for MBAs to put into their resumes. That’s why you see this enshittification. Used to be the money people didn’t want to work in tech because it made them feel dumb. That was what made the industry work. Those times are over.
MBA’s do not get enough shit for being a root cause of the deterioration for modern life.
It really is a bullshit career. Companies should be run by people who came up in the industry and learned all the pitfalls rather than college kids who learned how to not pay contracts until they’re legally forced to.
Used to be the money people didn’t want to work in tech because it made them feel dumb.
No one has ever spent more than five minutes speaking to a tech worker and felt dumb afterwards.
That was what made the industry work.
Yeah, tech companies had such a high success rate from 1990-2010.
Solid points, my dude.

I don’t imagine the tens of thousands of shitty tech startups by people who don’t know anything about tech which are popping up and exploding (in the bad way) are doing so well for the “success rate” now.
Changing the url to sh.reddit.com lets you get around it. Been using that when I’ve needed to look up a reddit thread at work.
Thank you
The only times I’ve seen that is if I’m trying to browse while on a VPN(mullvad in my case). And more often than not it’s because it came up in a search.
While I do agree that this is bad, I’m a little confused—what does this have to do with dead internet theory? Doesn’t that relate to users being bots?
That no one really uses reddit, that it’s dominated by bots masquerading as real people.
I swear you can actually spot entire chains of comments consisting of only bots replying to other bots on every single submission that makes it to the front page. It’s baffling how fast and hard reddit has fallen.
Do you have an example? I’m genuinely curious, I’ve heard a lot about this theory but can’t really imagine how you would differentiate bots from mindless redditors farming for karma by saying „This.“
Hey sorry for the late reply, I was just waiting for the perfect example, and I found one: https://kbin.social/m/reddit@lemmy.world/t/995008/Reddit-if-full-of-bots-thread-reposted-exactly-the-same
Fuck the hurensohn forever and always.
Meinten Sie vielleicht Burensohn oder Uhrensohn, werter Herr?
I went there the other day for the first time in a while and noticed how many ads there were and even ads disguised as notifications. Enshitification to the max. So glad I joined Lemmy.
Anyone else find it ironic that the ‘papers please’ character wears a fedora?
use redlib, it’s a private frontend, here’s a comment i made about it https://lemmy.world/comment/8577440
My recent permaban from r/worldnews for stating the obvious (is “Iran attacks Israel” still the right title for a stickied thread on the events in Gaza?) has had the positive effect of making me renew with Lemmy.
r/worldnews is a cesspool of hasbara fanboys, but their unilateral view on the conflict starts to draw away people from their toxic propaganda.
Don’t even waste your time in that echo chamber, it’s almost as bad as r/politics. They did you a favor by banning you.
nah, that would be twitter. reddit is catching up tho.
Become? Where you been, man?

Fuck Reddit and their demogogue mods.
Oh, there’s a fair amount if those here too.
