Fuck Reddit

They should include reddit in the list of search engines that don't work well with reddit

i like how the only reason i'd use reddit is to search "site:reddit.com/r/thesimpsons " to see what the simpsons reddit says about the episode.

Oh good, I can't view most reddit threads without an account anymore, so it'll be nice to see those results go away.

You actually can if you replace "www" with "old."

[–] RatzChatsubo@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Good.

I have not actually been able to use any Reddit results for awhile. It might be that I force old[.]reddit[.]com and Reddit has finally cracked down on that?

[–] kaotic@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I installed a plugin months ago to exclude Reddit results from my search results.

I tried using Google to search reddit the other day and it didn't work.

As a Lemmy and Duck Duck Go user, this is a desired feature!

[–] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 0 points 4 months ago

Cool, I don't go to any reddit links anymore anyways. Saves me the hassle of skipping over them.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

Welp, they did it. They fucking broke reddit. Again.

After seeing this news I just created this lemmy account. I hope people make the right decision and move on to lemmy.

Great, neither Google search or reddit work anymore. They deserve each other.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

I literally only use Reddit for one particular game sub and nothing else, so I just go directly there. I literally have no other use for it, so this change means exactly diddly dick to me.
