Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers (old.reddit.com)

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.

What a bunch of dickheads, I'll stop using reddit entirely if they keep pulling shit like this. Hope Lemmy eats their lunch!

Is it better to overwrite comments and then delete them, or is just overwriting with whatever message I want to leave then deleting account accomplish same goal of making comments useless.

This is terrible! I cannot believe that within the span of few months, reddit has not only shot itself in the foot but now effectively is trying to drown.

As if it wasn’t bad enough to ask if I want to use the default mobile app every time I go to a Reddit page on my mobile web browser. 😕
