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.

Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers (old.reddit.com)

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.

"old.reddit.com isn't going anywhere"

-- a spez lie

I honestly don't think theyll remove it, since reddit relies on mods and mods really prefer old reddit than new reddit

But I wouldn't be surprised if they did something stupid like limiting it to only mods

Well, mods also relied on 3PAs so...
