Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".

    Yep, kind of waxed and waned between various instances here and reddit since the 2023 protests, but now that they added the website popups, they site is basically unusable (old.reddit still works fine, but on mobile it’s largely unwieldy).

    Might as well move over here fully now.

      Jesus Christ! I’m always shocked people still support this platform. You’ll hate me saying it, but it’s similar to the trump situation.

      It/he hasn’t hurt me enough yet, it doesn’t make a difference.

      Sheeesh

        For me it’s just that there’s a lot of knowledge in Reddit comments. Someone asking about some problem, and the comments having some useful answer. So not being able to access those is what will suck for me. Ya sure there are other forums and ways to get info, but if there’s an answer in a Reddit comment I’ll happily read it
