A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

How are we not seeing news about reddit devs jumping ship? They've got to see that they're fucked with u/spez at the helm

Absolutely horseshit and so dumb. This just reinforces my decision to leave. I left the account open but I deleted all of my content (many years worth of posts and comments) on the way out the door.

I'm reading this after I deleted my account. I have no regrets after reading this. Screw them.

Well that's another certified fat L for Reddit.

Why am I not surprised?

I fucking hate these trials they do. They did some bullshit trial with their mobile app not too long ago that turned it into a laggy, unusable mess. Just had to wait until it ended, or download a 3rd party app.

I don't know what the hell they're thinking blocking mobile browsers from accessing the site, but they're seemingly determined to burn through any good-will they've got, apparently.

Just a horrid, assbackwards decision

Ridiculous. Is spez trying to outdo Elon to see who will run their site to the ground first?
