Who cares. Reddit is dead to me, and spez murdered it.

Reddit was amazing. I will always enjoy and fondly remember what it was like before Spez fucked up one of the most reputable cultures and brands in internet history. Fuck that guy... just... what a fucking shithead to destroy something so wonderful.

"whoa there, pardner"

cunts

Lemmy is getting better and better at an exponential rate. I still use Reddit but eventually I expect to fully be on Lemmy.

Translation: If we can't track you, you're of no interest to us.

Weekly reminder that the best way to tell them off is to donate to the Lemmy developers, even 1 dollar is no doubt appreciated. Tell reddit off by using their competitor and paying for it.

change your user agent to "fuck reddit and fuck you spez v. 1.2.45"

What's Reddit?

Reddit is the new digg

I get this even when signed in. Reddit really doesn't like VPNs at all these days.

If I was going to r/FortNiteBR, I'd be using private browsing mode on mobile firefox too

Change the url to old. instead of www. and you can bypass it.

I think there is something there to start a conversation about how messed up the Internet is these days.

Walls are being placed up all over. Security teams are always freaking out and checks that charge the guest are being put up just to track people going in and out.

I think we have finally hit the breaking threshold of everyone getting online and gated communities are the only way people want to exist in the web now. I mean how many times has Lemmy been DDOS'd already on several instances. Scrapers are everywhere trying to steal data for any and all purposes.

As much as we may not like it for people that want a pleasant experience without effort entrance tickets might actually need to start being made to let people into the world's largest circus we ever made.

I've been meaning to say this, there has been surge of influx of users recently. Maybe this has to do with it? My VPN IP has been targeted. This isn't a problem if you switch to a different location as certain VPN IP addresses are flagged by websites. VPN providers tend to change the addresses so this shouldn't be a long term problem.

Since the debacle of Reddit and curtailing of privacy in their site, I log in to Reddit via Tor on Onion. It's awkward to do so, but I won't go back to the original site. They have gone in the way of Facebook with predatory harvesting of data.

Seems like Spez & Co finally started figuring out just how much their traffic skews to porn seekers, and is useless to advertisers. Last ditch effort to get relevant user info and metrics to sell.

old.reddit.com still works (for now..).

The only time I use reddit instead of Lemmy now is when I want to read discussion of TV shows I just watched.

Wtf are they doing?

I have noticed this too when using a VPN, some of Mullvads servers are blocked.

I know everyone here hates reddit but come on we all go to reddit when we need to find some information because its almost always guaranteed to be there whereas on Lemmy unless it is something tech related or foss related, its pretty much a shot in the dark.
