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.

But if you had said that about antifa, you would have been fine.

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.

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.

Same here. They don't want users. They just want bots.

haven’t seen any issues yet on ios? using the reddit site with sink it for reddit and it’s been fine so far, albeit slow with a vpn at times

The Reddit manchild fanbase are just grown up tablet kids at this point. Makes sense to push them to an app on their phone.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Their app performs worse than running their website on Firefox. That's a technical feat of its own.

Both the Reddit app and the Reddit website are absolute travesties

Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to Lemmy Instead

I've corrected the headline for you. Thank me later, alligator.

It will well and truly be dead and gone once old.reddit.com stops working. It remains the one good way to view the site, regardless of device.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Sadly this is (very popular, according to comments here and on Reddit) copium. old.reddit.com visits are a rounding error, per the traffic stats of the normie subreddit I moderate:

Most people simply do not have the technical acumen and tenure on Reddit to know to type in that subdomain. As always, relevant XKCD (posted today on Lemmy, funnily enough):

Good idea, Reddit.
