I know, I know, reddit sucks ass. I’ve been using firefox with ublock to read the best ofs for the unquenchable need for bullshit drama in my life.

But now it’s not just a pop up saying to use the app, but a full ass unpassable thing. Old Reddit still works, but that’s just another step for something that’s already so not worthwhile.

Welp…

    I’ve been seeing this for a long time now, as they blocked VPN and anonymous access, so I use a combination of cached pages and libredirect if I really want to bother going there.

      I’ve hit that and just switched IPs on the same VPN. The other VPN I use has never hit the screen.

      They did that about a year or so after I blocked reddit via DNS. No idea why, I don’t use a VPN for reddit, and I hadent given them any traffic outside the once and awhile checking a tech support post, but something about my network triggered it.

      No big loss.

      I always thought that once I moved here, I might still visit reddit but I almost never do. And much of the reason is those fucking stupid cartoon mascots. "snoo"s iirc? FML.
