People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

This is brilliant! I can't bring myself to go back, even to visit, as I only use mobile and refuse to use that shitty app. But it's great to hear people are fighting back.
If I hadn't deleted myself off the site, I'd go and write the worst, most cringy, NSFW worthy John Oliver fanfiction that my brain could produce.
The one shame of leaving entirely is I can't do that and won't go back on my principles.
Feel free to write and post here. Some of us would still be interested in reading it. At least while we wait out beanpocalypse
Or you can replace beanpocalypse with johnpocalypse!
Much like a train wreck, part of me wants to see that. But I also know that like a train wreck, I'd turn away as soon as it was actually in front of me
If, for whatever reason, you actually want to do this. I'll be happy to post it and credit your Lemmy account. I emptied my account, no comments or posts. And I will happily leave the worst john oliver fanfic on there.
I haven't looked into the reason for it at all but rif still seems to be loading the site in anonymous mode. I guess that makes sense, as without my user account, rif is basically just a different way of packaging up the content, like RES, but for mobile.
All this to say that if you only want a visit, it might be possible to do so with one of your old apps, you just wouldn't be able to participate in any way. 🤷♂️
