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. The are actually going to BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

You mean the app that a significant portion of Reddit absolutely hates? Good lord. ~Strawberry

If you want to lurk Reddit without being tracked, please use Teddit.net, they won't complain about using a mobile browser.

As if there was somebody on the fence about what direction Reddit is taking. Glad I left

Not surprised. They need to milk every last drop of revenue from their users free content for the upcoming IPO.

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.

To be fair the mobile browser version was already shit.

I can honestly say since Twitter did this I’ve hardly ever used it

Reddit is officially on a bankruptcy speedrun.
