@boilingsteam how much I hate reddit's owners - it has to be a bug, I use reddit via mobile web, checked now, and it is fine.That said - I hope my communities move away to some better platform asap :)

@wonziu It's an experiment which means it is not running on all users at once.

@PalePimp They are not really bringing much on the table anyway, it feels like most people defaulted to using it more than anything else. The next in that list is Discord, used by every community out there - you can bet the moment of reckoning will come as well because PEOPLE NEVER FUCKING LEARN

@boilingsteam we have in german a good saying: sich selber in den Fuss schießen, it fits perfectly to these situations. Translated it means shooting yourself in the foot.

@wonziuAn Admin replied confirming the user was part of an experiment Reddit was running. Truly Reddit just no longer has any interest in being a positive discussion platform any more.Cc @boilingsteam

@boilingsteam Is this what all the protests are about ? Haven't used Reddit in years and all of a sudden see massive amounts of people angry at Reddit.

@PublicLewdness @boilingsteam allow me to explainreddit has had shit UI since the very, very beginning. Their only trick was initially less flashy UI than digg. The quality was garbage in Common Lisp, then garbage in Python, and has remained garbage since. It actually took them, I think at least a year, to quote code correctly. Then they rolled out the "new" UI and it's such cancer that even reddit employees routinely communicate in old.reddit.com links. The UI has been so bad, for so long, that alternative frontends and elaborate browser addons have become popular, to make trivial tasks like "ban this user for this comment I'm looking at" less tedious than in the wholly neglected garbage code that is the official UI.what reddit is doing now is demanding that such people pay fees appropriate for corporate ChatGPT corpus collectors, because those people also scrape reddit for its mass of authentically human-like NPC conversation.after some protests, reddit's backed down to giving some frontends a special pass, but anyone wanting to develop anything new for reddit can fuck right off.

@PublicLewdness no this is unrelated. Right now people are protesting about third party api fees and conditions of use. Because that would effectively shut down many third party clients
