People getting sick and tide of Reddit. TBH I’m still salty over them killing 3rd party apps and I’m so glad they did because that drew the line for me, also fuck spez.
They seem to be blocking access from certain IPs and VPNs (if not logged in?) Which is funny because some of these VPNs are not really hiding anything. Like my work VPN which I would think makes it pretty obvious which company I work for. Annoying when search results link to reddit content.
I think they’re referring to the fact that you no longer can create accounts without using an email address. You were able to use a UI loophole to do it before via Old Reddit, but no more.
Shadowbanning sucks when your on the other side of it.
Forever mods that have hundreds of default subreddits act like dictators. Banning people from all their collections of subreddits without anyone knowing.
Removing the ability for users to see actual number of votes up/down.
And now with the whole “don’t upvotes certain content or you will get a strike”. Never mind that isn’t how the site works at all.
They haven’t come out with a feature that people have wanted in the last couple of years.
Getting rid of coins/rewards just to empty everyone’s stock and then bringing them back again without 1:1 compensation and forgetting everyone who gave their coins away before they would vanish
I use voyager and don’t use any gestures. Looks like I turned them off in settings. And they have a ton of options for things you can adjust in the settings. I was a reddit is fun app user and am completely happy with voyager. But I’m also almost always just lurking. So more active users might have more problems but with how much you can adjust it I doubt it.
Like if you visit a link or go to someone’s profile, then go back to return to the comments, will your scroll position be remembered so you can see the comment you were just looking at? If so, yes
Nice. What about if you back out to the main feed and then decide to go back to the comments later? This is where all other clients fail in my experience

They’ve basically banned anonymous accounts. Their whole thing was anonymity.

You can use this script with a browser addon like Tampermonkey to get around the sign-in requirement:
// ==UserScript== // @name reddit - unblock (create cookie and reload) // @namespace Violentmonkey Scripts // @match *://*.reddit.com/* // @grant none // @version 2024-01-08 // @noframes // @license MIT License // @description for "Blocked" "whoa there, pardner!" cowboy bs // ==/UserScript== /* thanks: https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/18jbxb2 */ if (document.title === "Blocked") { document.cookie="reddit_session=;Domain=.reddit.com;Path=/;Expires=;Secure=true;SameSite=None"; window.location.reload(); }Why should the user have to fix reddit to make it functional?
This what infuriates me the most.
I use a VPN (because my government is insane) and i get a “security warning” if I visit any Reddit post (even old Reddit).
All they’re doing is building a moat around OUR content we created.
Wait first I’m hearing of this one. What happened now?

Woah, it’s finally gone? Guess I haven’t been back in a while
Reddit has become very strange.

Same, it was over for me when they took Boost away thankfully Boost pivoted to Lemmy lol
Is Boost dead though? I love it too, but it hasn’t updated in a while
I have no idea, Boost has always been one to go long periods between updates, but it is getting pretty long since the last one

You can have gestures disabled on voyager and just use the buttons

Does it save your position in the comments of a specific post? That’s my #1 criterion for an app. Boost is the only one that I’ve found that does it
Not that I can see

Mine stopped working completely this week. It then linked to boost for lemmy. Now I’m here.
Boost gang!
I’m more oxi clean of reddit myself
