this just in: company enshittifies product and doesn't give a fuck about you, only money. More at 10.
Anyone holding out as long as possible, old.reddit.com still worked for me earlier this week on mobile. Ymmv
I think they’re keeping it around as a dirty little secret that either leadership doesn’t acknowledge or they realize it’s the last bastion of their power user base.
To that end, I hope it sticks around for a while, but if they ever get rid of it, I think the only ones left would be noobs and bots.

I like how reddit allows moderators to just ban users with basically no appeal process.
What a great business plan. Allow randoms to decide who gets to keep being a customer

Why??? I will tell you my non expert opinion.
Reddit makes money by selling data to advertisement companies. Users that aren't logged in are probably hard to track. They probably have a bunch of untargeted data they can't sell for much.
Reddit does not actually care about the end users experience. They want you to use their site enough to provide them with sellable data. It's like Facebook. Facebook could show you your friends posts in chronological order everyday but instead they throw in all this spam on your feed to keep you on the app. They can see what you're interested in. If all you do is 'like' your friends baby pictures then that data would be hard to sell.
It works really well for me actually. Every time that mobile app begpost comes up it's a great reminder that I shouldn't even be looking at Reddit at all. Cut down my doomscrolling on my phone immediately.
Came here to say something similar. Already deleted my account. This just reminds me not to browse either.
If you are still active on Reddit after all the enshitification, you are enshitified and getting furious is no longer an option.
Unfortunately it’s captured a lot of information and resources.
Think about crafting - I’m going to find a lot more knitting tutorials on Reddit than I will here. Lemmy is very like early Reddit, where it’s only really active on topics like politics and technology.
What do you need to craft in your life besides building the perfect Linux distro? /s
On a side note, how do you find Reddit vs Ravelry for knitting?

Fuck Spez, but also, is this is amateur hour?
First off, don't use new Reddit. Second, run Reddit in desktop mode. Third, use a browser like Firefox so you can run RES and UBlock Origin.
Congratz, Reddit as it should be is fully functional on your phone.
old.reddit works on mobile, but you need 1 Firefox extension the fixes the mobile styling.
And you're using old reddit with RES like the good old days, but on mobile.

they force all browsers to use applewebkit engine
Someone contact the mods of that subreddit and tell them to point to https://join-lemmy.org/ instead of lemmy.world

Regardless, they'll still bend over & take it.
https://old.reddit.com/ is still working fine for me.
If Lemmy would pick up some more content about RVs and sailing I would leave there but meanwhile the old way still works.

Yeah not using the app
I don't know why they bitch....they're just going right back. weak
it takes some people mnay attempts to get out of an abusive relationship
I'm so glad I was permabanned with no possible way to ever login under any new or existing username ever again. That's the only way they could keep me away. It's been healthy for me.
I'm in the same boat. I've had more productive conversations/debates with people on here in 6 months than 12 years on reddit.
I agree as far as politics, but for everything else I like - music, guitars, cats, animals - Lemmy is sadly lacking.

Well on the bright side I found this place
welcome to Lemmy
Welcome to Lemmy!
Hi everyone, this was the last straw for me. Can anyone point me in the direction of the porn?
This is the thing that gets me. It's kind of a double edged sword using an underground community like Lemmy. I still use Reddit for nsfw (God bless red reader) because the normie girls haven't migrated over here yet. There is such a mature community of self posting NSFW content that I haven't found anywhere else on the Internet like it tbh.
Yep
There simply isn't anywhere here for me to post the content that I create

RIP reddit. We knew this day would come. At least Spez will have plenty of bot accounts to keep him company.

zero fucks given,
Starting to be no fucks given for the users either, the constant enshitifaction is baked in so only masochists are left there.
I got permabanned this week for saying "Poor white people are being tricked into blaming black/brown/trans people for their problems instead of billionaires."
Apparently it was promoting hate based speech and attacks.
Reddit was kinda neat 15 years ago, it's a fucking cesspool now.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
