I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don’t want people to use their shit anymore. I’m starting to believe in the dead internet theory.
Can you guys stop talking about your ex ? You’re with lemmy now, forget about the old bitch.
It’s the Reddit community, juste block it if you don’t want to see it
I’m all for staying here on Lemmy: Lemmings are nicer than Redditors and the place is a lot higher S/N ratio.
But… sadly, due to inertia, Reddit is still where a lot of stuff is squarely at. There are long-established Reddit communities - often nice, well behaved communities - that don’t give a toss about the Reddit drama, and are simply not interested in moving out.
I’ve been trying to kickstart an equivalent Reddit community here on Lemmy for almost a year. While there’s a handful of members, it’s basically just me infrequently posting in it. The original one on Reddit has almost 10K members, is fairly active, and clearly none of the members know anything about Lemmy - much less want to create an account and join my insignificant equivalent community. I keep it around in case Reddit enshittifies to such an extent that even those who don’t care start taking notice. But at the moment, inertia is much too strong.
Seems like the Bats community here on Lemmy.world was popular due to some new posts every day.
That’s actually a deprecation warning. You’re meant to move to a more modern platform.
I’m already here.
How do we know you’re actually here though? 🤔
nah, that would be twitter. reddit is catching up tho.
Lol yeah I can’t get on it at work anymore. Goodbye to all the traffic they get from people looking for tech advice on corporate networks. Fucking morons.
My work is also banned due to “suspicious” activity.
They’re banning VPNs. I have no idea why, but reddit is unusable at this point.
It could be a simple way to prevent bots which clearly isn’t working, or perhaps users who reveal their IP address are worth more to advertisers.

I suspect they’re able to track a lot of they have your IP address.
i’ve never had an office job but it’s extremely obnoxious they seem to regularly filter the internet like you’re in school. there were so so many important resources (including youtube) which had legitimate educational and technical value they’d take away as some bullshit austerity ritual
Are you using a vpn?
Tech companies are now the hot new thing for MBAs to put into their resumes. That’s why you see this enshittification. Used to be the money people didn’t want to work in tech because it made them feel dumb. That was what made the industry work. Those times are over.
MBA’s do not get enough shit for being a root cause of the deterioration for modern life.
It really is a bullshit career. Companies should be run by people who came up in the industry and learned all the pitfalls rather than college kids who learned how to not pay contracts until they’re legally forced to.
The only times I’ve seen that is if I’m trying to browse while on a VPN(mullvad in my case). And more often than not it’s because it came up in a search.
I use a VPN and they block me most days. I uninstalled the app and said fuqit.
Red Reader works but I have not found a solution for the browser. Sucks majorly because of search results leading you to a Reddit post.
Libdirect extension set to redirect you to a teddit client.
wat
use redlib, it’s a private frontend, here’s a comment i made about it https://lemmy.world/comment/8577440
Tried redlib-redirect but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to do anything… :(
I use this
Ridiculous permissions. Pass.
My recent permaban from r/worldnews for stating the obvious (is “Iran attacks Israel” still the right title for a stickied thread on the events in Gaza?) has had the positive effect of making me renew with Lemmy.
r/worldnews is a cesspool of hasbara fanboys, but their unilateral view on the conflict starts to draw away people from their toxic propaganda.
