Yeah, when old.reddit.com breaks, I guess I'm done. Really surprised I haven't been banned yet.
Just clicked on a post in r/vandwellers that said
This post contains content not supported on old Reddit. Click here to view the full post
Looks like it might be beginning.
I saw that too. I use the plugin that auto goes to old reddit, clicking the link worked. On old reddit.
I don't understand what wouldn't be supported. The one I saw was a picture. It's all liess
Jesus Christ! I'm always shocked people still support this platform. You'll hate me saying it, but it's similar to the trump situation.
It/he hasn't hurt me enough yet, it doesn't make a difference.
Sheeesh
For me it’s just that there’s a lot of knowledge in Reddit comments. Someone asking about some problem, and the comments having some useful answer. So not being able to access those is what will suck for me. Ya sure there are other forums and ways to get info, but if there’s an answer in a Reddit comment I’ll happily read it
Yes that use case is fair enough. And if someone wants to go through hoops for that, fine.
Just don't get stockholmed 😁
Ya, and same thing with YouTube. Lots of useful knowledge on there, like how to repair some obscure part on some obscure car or whatnot.
Sucks to have to use the platform but all that knowledge is super useful
Oh how I would love if everything were not only on YouTube but also somewhere else, sigh.
YouTube’s fucking wild though because you can literally type the name of the video you’re looking for and they will refuse to show it to you.
Lmao "I'm so shocked people use something I don't like". Gfy
No, we're way past this. Every single tech bro is actively supporting fascism, even if this went by you.
So enjoy your hellscape.
Edit: apologies for this, I could surprisingly not find hard evidence of Huffman supporting Trump. So since I am a grown up and don't ninjaedit mistakes away, take this apology.
However, reddit is still lost, shit and should not be supported as it is hampering a move to better alternatives.
🤡
You will remember me.
And where did that bring you? Back to the fediverse.
Glad I left a coule years ago.
I've noticed various aspects of the mobile site seem intentionally broken. Specifically, the video player, but also seemingly core functions like chat
on iPhones
Interesting. But why? It works perfectly fine from my android
Yep, kind of waxed and waned between various instances here and reddit since the 2023 protests, but now that they added the website popups, they site is basically unusable (old.reddit still works fine, but on mobile it's largely unwieldy).
Might as well move over here fully now.
