    Reddit is now in my ‘forget it’ zone - It’s nothing more than a sewer at this point. There aren’t very many people on there anymore anyway. The whole platform is swimming with millions of chatbots.

      Sigh, just exactly how does pretending not to know about reddit contribute to the discussion?

        It’s modeling an attitude dismissive of the subject platform. It could also be highlighting one’s feelings on discussing the behaviors of that platform’s management.

        Good, bad, or indifferent, it’s a contribution and topical to boot.

          Nope, I can’t see how claiming that you don’t know about not just the post’s subject matter but also the entire community’s subject matter, adds anything to the discussion other than annoying others

            I found it sympathetic tbh.

            I can’t see how discouraging engagement on a free and open alternative promotes the goals of most lemmy instances. I get that some want a small isolated and difficult to reach communities but the mainstream statement is usually along the lines of displacing commercial media by means of providing a welcoming alterative.

    I have noted it too, I mainly used to browse /r/bestofredditorupdates in the mornings, and noted that when I was traveling to last week that it was blocked in Switzerland, when I got home I could access it for a few days, but I’d already detoxed from it, so I wasn’t that interested anymore, and now it is blocked here in Sweden as well.

    Maybe it’s time I launch magazines on mbin for all the other r/communities that I liked, hoping at least some of those pick up.

    I can still access old w/o being logged on. It will block me if I use a private window though. Browse w/o interaction and eats up bandwidth. F’em

    Same here, I started to use old reddit when it became impossible to search content in a specific subreddit (search basically searched all of reddit and on top of that, you get an AI search).

    Guess no more accessing some game specific subreddits for me.

    Oh my dudeski, they have somehow effectively blocked me from accessing the site AT ALL! It doesn’t matter what browser I use, I keep getting a redirect error and can’t even access the site. These idiots went FULL NUCLEAR on a good majority of its base just a day after going on the S&P market. They really fucked the whole users and the idea of what Reddit WAS about!

    You’re not really losing much of value there, Reddit was set on its enshittification course for years.

      Agreed. I’m actually quite glad.

      You can’t read reddit without logging in, but IME you can’t actually register an account without it getting instantly silent-banned either, unless you’re using a non-anonymous mail or connection.

      The only problem is that I still have the muscle memory of quickly typing reddit when opening a browser, but given that’s now entirely pointless, that should fade sooner rather than later.

      Shame about the smaller communities, like /r/panelshow which despite all its flaws was still useful for pirating those shows. Guess I’ll have to go find it elsewhere.

    I get redirected when I’m logged in but not when I’m not. Mobile still works but I don’t think I’ve logged in again on my phone since it broke so I may be on borrowed time there. My accounts been banned for years and I only use it for porn anyway so no big loss there.
