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. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

Well thats concerning. Hope the revenue they get from API access and forcing ads will offset the communities they are pushing away. Im about to delete my reddit account over this. Lets hope lemmy can gain traction.

Absolutely horseshit and so dumb. This just reinforces my decision to leave. I left the account open but I deleted all of my content (many years worth of posts and comments) on the way out the door.

Wow, I am surprised they would go this far if I'm honest. Are they actively trying to piss off literally everyone?

They are relying on technology illiterate investors not understanding what the issues are.

What awful timing to run this experiment.

I'm on desktop and checked through a browser and it is dead.
