    On the occasion a search result forces me to reddit, I delete the “upsell” div (that’s what the code of the site calls it) and remove the block scroll class from the body.

    So they’re shooting themselves in the foot. Good. I deleted my 15-year account back in 2023 after that greedy piece of shit, spez, screwed over the app devs. Only reason I ever visit reddit now is if it happens to be the end result of a google search. If they require me to log in to see it, then they will no longer get my traffic. And I suspect that will be the case for quite a lot of people.

      Same. Had my account since Digg v4, deleted my posted comments and account after 3rd-party apps were effectively killed off. I lurked, but it looks like that is over now. I won’t even get to see the existing old information on the site from searches, but oh well…

    Ugh goddammit. I still check a handful of long running CW post chains from some writers/users whose stories I’ve become invested in… but I guess I’m done with that now :(

    That’s how I ended up on lemmy, but I’ve seen more new memes in the past week than I’d probably seen all month on reddit.

      Welcome!

      If you want to see less of something, don’t hesitate to block a community.

      But I mostly use the Subscribed feed, not All

        My subscribed feed is nothing but Norm Macdonald jokes and Garfield comics. There is still room for Jughead comics but the community isn’t here yet.

      That’s why I’m here too. Unfortunately I’ve seen the same amount of ragebait on the front page as I see on reddit.

    Yeah I seen that coming when I tried to make a reddit to lemmy Cross posting app. Reddit made a system where you can download a video but not get the audio. Also their embedded videos tend to require that you go to reddit.

    Reddit is getting enshitified

    Why force account creation if their AI just bans people en masse anyway? Has their rabid banning affected their numbers?

      They’re manipulating their numbers so that they can present fraudulent user counts to investors

    What benefit? It keeps banning accounts for no reason. It seems like new users have almost no entry

    If any more people get caught up in their dipshit automod filters bugging out like I did it looks like it’s curtains for us. Ive been lurking but I guess this is my cue to actually be active on Lemmy now.

      Old Reddit doesn’t work unless you have an account.

            Just tried it and it’s working for me too. Don’t know why you’d even bother with that site without an account to filter out all the default bullshit though.

          The change is being rolled out gradually, probably to test if they see a negative impact to their metrics from it.

          We can’t promise it will be around forever, but [Reddit CEO Steve Huffman] himself has said we’ll keep supporting it while folks are still using it. That said, it doesn’t have the same modern security tech stack reddit.com has, so we need to tighten security on old reddit to keep it viable.

          That piece of shit spez is stating its a requirement, I cannot access without logging in.

          Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in.

          This was posted less than a month ago, so you must be the lucky last few who can still access it. Enjoy it while you can I guess.

      I don’t know if you saw the news, but they will soon require accounts for old reddit
