Redreader still works for Android

Darn. Old Reddit is the last way to access NSFW subreddits without logging into Reddit.

If I ever browsed Reddit that was the only method I used. Guess I’ll just not use it at all

I finally switched over. The changes to reddit mobile were awful, this broke the camel’s strained back.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

this is why I use safereddit.com and always have. rarely, if ever, lets me down.

What a piece of shit company

Their ad copy now says stuff like "join the realest place on the internet!" Pretty funny when more than half the users are bots or otherwise bad actors there to forum slide or otherwise build consensus

Reddit is a disinformation fusion center modded by types like Ghislane Maxwell, nothing more. Don't forget. Delete that cancer from your life

Just one of many reasons I have navigated here. A text-based social media platform has somehow become a rebellion.

I guess this will break millions of search links built up over the years

My browser clears all cookies from Reddit when I close it down. And every time I go to the new Reddit site, it auto logs me in with my Google account. In some other sites there's the annoying "log in with google account" popup at the top; it doesn't do anything if you don't click to log in. But Reddit doesn't ask. Just says: "Logging you in" and you can click cancel if you're fast enough.

They even auto create you an account if they do this for the first time.

Awhile ago they were also experimenting forcing mobile users to use the app

And now they're also rolling out age verification in the EU (just got an email yesterday). One of the ways to verify your age is with Persona which Discord also tried to use and got a lot of backslash.

I got shadow banned like for been 2 months still I am and can't even get karma up as people won't see my comments so I just use that red alien for surfing and watching people comments that's it 👾

Got to shout Redlib from the rafters.

Hopefully this will be the push I need to quit Reddit.

I check Reddit like once a week since I started using Lemmy. I guess it will be down to nonce per week

abusive scraping

As opposed to the plain old scraping they do to train AI, and generate revenue by selling user comments for others to train AI.

I read a half-cocked internet theory that a certain someone might've purchased twitter just to gain access to an ex-gf's personal tweets. I judged it as possible but unlikely, as that's a lot of money to spend on such a thing.

Now, we've all heard stories about reddit blocking accounts for no published reason, and tracking folks down across accounts/IP addresses/etc. That code must be pretty expansive to do the things they've done. So one has the thought: if you've ever reached out to the reddit hive mind for some kind of support with a personal issue of any kind then that data about you is still floating around in their database and tied to whatever alternate accounts you have, even if it was the "good old days" when you did it.

Abusive scraping, my ass.

Perfect timing. Today i received a mail that in a few weeks i have to verfiy my age. So now i have two reasons to delete the account.
