not just reddit. any site like that is a no go.

[–] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 40 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The worst is when companies and resutrants use "Instagram" or "Facebook" as their official webpage.

There's a restaurant where I live that I've never gone to because I can't book it without giving fuckerburg my data

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

even worse is any deals are on downloaded apps. F that. The only good effect for me with that is its an effective way to identify and avoid corporate type institutions as they are top in using it.

especially the sites that have academic questions and solutions for that but they are locked behind an account and then a subscription.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

I assume those are just straight up virus factories.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago

old reddit still works. For now.

Did I miss something? Or just a joke about the future of reddit because obviously they will go for it at some point.

[–] uzzi@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

When I go to a subreddit a popup appears over similar to those news sites asking me to either login or open in app. So it's kinda the present

[–] Silejonu@kbin.social 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

That's for NSFW communities. Since the protests, quite a lot of communities are still marked as NSFW, even if they're not, in reality.

If you’re on mobile it will happen when you just search a question on google, no matter the subreddit

[–] M137@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Firstly, why are you using Google? Secondly, you must be doing something else wrong because I have never seen that outside of NSFW stuff. The only time I go to reddit is on mobile via the browser when I'm searching for something, and I'm not logged into an account.

Firstly, why are you using Google?

Are you under the impression you're talking to your 8 yr old?

[–] FarFarAway@startrek.website 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So what your saying is that one of the very tools that people used to protest, is now being used to perpetuate the very thing they were protesting?

Why am I not surprised.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Reddit has always required login to view NSFW. ETA: Whelp, I was wrong.

[–] eldain@feddit.nl 15 points 11 months ago

Time for a 10 minute mail and 123456 as a password. Take that bullshit website!

[–] Rezzit@feddit.de 14 points 11 months ago

Discord is already there. (Please don't tell me, it's an app. You can use it via web perfectly fine.)

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Imagine creating an account just so you can find out how to fix an issue you're having and then instantly deleting your account after seeing all the nazi shit on the front page.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There's a userscript, 'old reddit redirect'.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 6 points 11 months ago

Nah, it's a full on J turn and then floor it!

[–] dansity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago

Even worse if you take your time, register with 10min mail and the content is not what you are looking for

[–] junfel@campfyre.nickwebster.dev 6 points 11 months ago
[–] DrQuint@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You mean Twitter right? Reddit is still plenty open.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

Old reddit is still open, new reddit and the mobile site have been locked down for a while now.

[–] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 6 points 11 months ago

Give them a couple weeks

[–] HomebrewHedonist@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Yep... every time.

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I can still browse without an account.

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the sub. r/Ukraine is set to NSFW, so they require an account to "verify" for some reason.

[–] quesomodo@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can't you just use old.plebbit?

[–] Turun@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Yes you can

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

For twitter nitter is really usefull

[–] Whisper06@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Reader mode on the browser works sometimes.
