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".

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

    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.

    Reddit really sucks. Once you get one temporary ban, the automated system really fucks you at any point in the future.

    Any websight pushing stuff like this I refuse to use. I use a degoogled phone so many apps don’t work and I use the web browser.

    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.

    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 used Reddit since near it’s start, never banned until recently. Apparently saying that public officials who betray their country and the will of the people should be burned at the stake is me making threats. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

      Welcome. Yeah Reddit is an evil forum. Blocked me too when I was doing an ANTI racist statement. Apparently the moderhater thought I was racist, block for life, appeal never helped. I think they cannot read properly.

      Lol I quit reddit a couple of years ago when they did the API thing. Recently went on there cos I was googling some game stuff that led me there - and I found that the account that was logged in had been banned. I hadn’t commented or voted out even really been there for 2 years and somewhere in that time I earned a ban, somehow. Gotta laugh.
