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.
I got permabanned for saying I didn't think an actor was good. I have noticed that within the past few days, at least for me, it's been accessible on mobile. I still like looking at what people are yapping about but I wish I could weigh in.
I've also been banned from Hinge so it may be a me problem loll
I got banned for quoting Mike Tyson.
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.

I like lemmy but sadly not as known or as many communities as reddit.
My friend, redirect to old.reddit.com.
I honestly don't know how people stand the "new" site. The mobile page hurts my brain.
lemmy is way better than reddit
It's way worse for hobbies that aren't Linux and normie-interest things like sports. Even things like Magic: the Gathering or the NFL or gardening have almost no traffic here.
Can you use the app without a login? It would suck to not be able to access twenty years of troubleshooting help for everything.
The last time I checked was a couple months ago, and you couldn’t access it without logging in, or if your account is banned. (And, as far as I know, they’re still permabanning accounts at random in massive waves.) So, unless that’s all changed, you can’t.
Only way I can look stuff up on there now is with an app called RDX for Reddit.
I hate the close source softwares and I definitely hate the anti-christ
Starts? They've done it since long before the api prize increase.
Good.
The more of this they do, the more people move to federated sites.
But will there be enough to counterract the people who just use the app? That's the real question. No one doubts a move like this increases fediverse people. So did the API scurfuffle, yet people still regularly complain about the fediverse being unpopulated.
I've been on fedi since 2015—over a decade. I know it's gotten bigger. Yet, every year, for 10 years straight, are people who complain about how small the userbase is. I don't see this at all changing that.

Reddit needs to die like digg did
Digg died because Reddit existed when they started enshittifying. I think Reddit needs a mainstream competitor before it will just drop dead. Until then it will shamble around like a zombie with a bunch of AI powered bots arguing where its brain should be.
I miss Voat it was the best Redditt competitor and was growing fast. 😭
Their moderation policy, unfortunately, turned them into a sewer. I'm pretty sure that hurt them a lot. I get what they were trying to do, but if you don't kick out the Nazis when you see them, soon you're "the Nazi place".
If only Lemmit accepted new subreddits, this would have been a no-issue…
I’ll miss some subreddits 🤷♂️
Start your own server. It's trivial.
Yeah I am considering… 🤔 I am more concerned of running the bot
There's other instances, and you can interact with subs on other instances just fine. That's the whole point of activitypub. So if you really miss those subs, maybe see if they're available on other instances?
I think what he's saying is that if a community on lemmy isn't politics, linux, or animal pictures, you can make a new community all you want. But if nobody visits/posts, is it really a community?
This was the push I needed to delete my reddit account and I did it yesterday
This is what finally did it? I stopped mine when they killed anything but their shitty app, but also when it became clear just how "freedom of speech" they weren't.
So did most of us. No reason to be hostile to someone who took more time but still committed. The day they monetized the API was the 3rd best day. Today is the 4th best day.
I say there's no reason to be hostile to someone still on Reddit. I check here first for most things, but there are many communities whose presence here is either anemic or nonexistent.
Then again, Reddit has always been a desktop first experience for me. I pretty much only use old.reddit.com, and my line in the sand will probably be when it dies.

Garbage takes itself out, lol.
It's crap like this that's the reason why I started looking for alternatives like Lemmy. Reddit is getting a little too big for their britches.
