Reddit is dying in flames, and I couldn't be happier.
And what about people who don’t want to install an app for a variety of reasons?

Looks like reddit really doesn't want people to use reddit ... if that weren't obvious already

Oh man, along with the api changes, blocking mobile browsers really might end Reddit. It’s sad that this is all a self-own that could be reversed if they chose. Oh well, that’s on them.
well I an certainly not downloading the app
Monetization at all costs it seems. They really want that IPO bag.
so in response to subreddits doing a blackout reddit decided to do its own blackout that will effect those who aren't participating in the blackout. Genius 5d chess right here people, some might even call it a sepuku.

Holy shit Reddit is apparently trying to speedrun destroying itself. Hopefully lemmy gets popular soon because I think it’s going to stop being a matter of preference and will become necessary
Fuck reddit man. They're doing all they can to kill it
If I never have to use another Meta service again I'll be very happy. Unfortunately I still have to use WhatsApp because that's all anyone I know uses to communicate...maybe one day.
This is incredibly pathetic. Why the asshats running reddit want to kill it this hard before an IPO is beyond me
I can maybe think of the thought process of people so far removed from how people use reddit trying to squeeze as much money out of it but killing it in the process, but it feels so dumb that I'm not sure I'm convinced
No fucking way. Dude.
Reddit: "I wonder how many ways I can kill my platform at the same time?"

What about if you switch your mobile browser to Desktop Mode? That seems to work for YouTube's fuckery where they pause videos when minimized on mobile.
But still, it's principle. Give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Reddit can burn.

At least the messaging is clear by the CEO: f*ck you, reddit users
They already blocked it for unregistered users. There's only that annoying overlay, that forces you to install their app.
