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.

What were they thinking doing this experiment in the heat of the third-party app protest?? Are they trying to aim for their foot?

They are trying to force users into their app is what they were thinking.

Jokes on them. Their app is unusable so even if I wanted to switch, I couldn’t do it. It’s so bloated and the layout and formatting make it impossible for me to read with my vision problems.
