Comment on this absolute bullshit from reddit

  If you use old.reddit.com, at least on chrome mobile, it doesn’t do this. That’s how I’ve gotten around that pop up. It’s more than mildly infuriating tbh.

    They’ve recently started blocking access to old.reddit.com without logging in.

      I am quite literally on it right now and I don’t have a Reddit account.

        Welcome to A/B rollouts.

        The idea is that instead of making a sweeping change for every single user, you roll a feature/system/UI update, etc out to a small number of users, to see how effective it is. It gives you time to see how those users react to it, how they interact with it, how it impacts their broader site usage, etc… And then once they have had time to gather some feedback and work out the bugs, they push it out to the rest of the users.

        You have a short while left. I heard about this a few weeks ago and just started getting the block today.

        Conclusive proof that you aren’t one of the ones that it has rolled out in. Interesting…

        It’s rolling out, so it just hasn’t hit you yet.

        Yep, just checked it as well. Clearly it’s not across the board.

  Add " switch to Lemmy" to your reddit profile to drive more migrations.

  Hopefully I stay on the unblocked side of old. Though I keep adding things like ?utm=fuckspez to the urls

  I use uBlock origin to block the pop up, works great
