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.

Wow... just "Desktop Version" or if that doesn't work quit Reddit. The app is that awful.

Lmfao looks like they're making it easier for the fediverse to have a chance

Monetization at all costs it seems. They really want that IPO bag.

It’s worth noting that this post was from last month before they announced the usurious pricing of the API. However the fact that they were doing this does not bode well for people (like me) trying to avoid using their horrendous app.

Yeah I was planning on using brave if I ever needed to access reddit on my phone now... this is not good. I refuse to use their terrible app.

Oh wow, they're really digging themselves deep into that shithole

This happening in the middle of the API gate seems like a pretty dumb move, even for Reddit.
