I know, I know, reddit sucks ass. I’ve been using firefox with ublock to read the best ofs for the unquenchable need for bullshit drama in my life.
But now it’s not just a pop up saying to use the app, but a full ass unpassable thing. Old Reddit still works, but that’s just another step for something that’s already so not worthwhile.
Welp…

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
I haven’t read a Reddit page since I switched from Protonvpn to Mullvadvpn.
Reddit seems to allow Proton but blocks Mullvad.
Another reason to appreciate Mullvad.
Try an alternative fronted like redlib.catsarch.com for when you really need to view the page. Unfortunately, there is still too much valuable info there, which is surfaced by search engines
I’ll keep that in mind, thanks.
They only block some Mullvad servers, if I hit the change location button once or twice I always get through. At least on Swedish servers which I usually use.
Apart from when search engines take me there, I stopped Reddit cold turkey the moment they started giving warnings simply for upvoting comments that are hostile towards billionaires.
I’ll give Sweden a try. I mostly use Canada. Thanks.
I’ve been seeing this for a long time now, as they blocked VPN and anonymous access, so I use a combination of cached pages and libredirect if I really want to bother going there.
I’ve hit that and just switched IPs on the same VPN. The other VPN I use has never hit the screen.
They did that about a year or so after I blocked reddit via DNS. No idea why, I don’t use a VPN for reddit, and I hadent given them any traffic outside the once and awhile checking a tech support post, but something about my network triggered it.
No big loss.

I got permabanned this morning. Made a joke that automod thought was inciting violence (said people who don’t punch their ponies in their face make me sick - not even my joke or a joke but a reference to someone else’s joke - in response to someone calling horses disgusting) and all my alts were banned too. Which is fine but I miss my TV show communities a bunch. I like to discuss my stories!

Majority of the posts on the popular subreddots are written by bots.
Don’t get me started on the powermods. How to go on power trips online to distract from how much of absolute losers they are IRL. I used to know some of them back in my reddit days and holy hell they are some of the most insufferable fuckwits you’d ever interact with
That’s why I just left. You can use the redirect to old Reddit extension, but this is just so fucking dumb.
It’s like an extra step, to get access to their ads too. No idea why anyone was paying for ads on Reddit before, but seems more pointless now
same. this was literally the last straw. this and the effing bot posts and comments
For research purposes use a frontend like redlib
Welcome to the dark side for good and yes, it is better… overall. I’ve been on Lemmy now since the first mass exodus when I deleted my reddit account of 15+ years.
While Lemmy is now my ‘home’, I do occasionally visit 3 reddit subs that have no equivalent elsewhere. It just happens and I see nothing wrong with the occasional view. It’s not like /u/Spez can monitize my VPN anonymous visit. So don’t feel bad if you end up doing the same, Lemmy just doesn’t have the same volume.
Yeah that’s how it’s been for me too. I left for Lemmy and deleted my 15 year account too when they announced to take down 3rd party apps.
I’ve been visiting the Best Ofs, but this stupid pop up won’t let me scroll at all anymore. So. There’s now nothing for me there.
I’ve been only using reddit on my phone in desktop mode on old reddit. The new reddit and the mobile interface was always trash.
I’ve been on Reddit for 16 years now, it’s just not the same anymore. The only reason I stick around is my local subreddit. I have no interest in Reddit anymore.
FWIW I get that pop up on my iphone, but it goes away and proceeds to the site using Safari.
it also seems to work on incognito with firefox
What is this community? First it’s all reddit reposts and now it’s this
I saw the reposts and that’s just lazy nonsense.
This was a separate thing of me being frustrated. Coincidental, I suppose ¯\(°_o)/¯
