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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The interesting thing is that it does not look like a permanent/always thing. A couple of days I also got these Pop-Ups (which you can circumvent by using “Desktop-Mode” in your mobile Browser) but I do not get them anymore. Is some kind of A/B testing ongoing or did they remove the changes?
