Social network Reddit recently began blocking mobile visitors to its website while pushing them to download the official Reddit app, and it's fair to say that the move is not going down well with users. If you visit reddit.com on your iPhone today, you may see a new popup that can't be dismissed, asking you to "get the app to keep using Reddit".
Hopefully more people will come here now
The last thing we need is more libs from Reddit.
Doubt - we aren’t particularly welcoming, especially to the likes of USA centrists, which is the majority population on Reddit.
Though some instances choose to at least curb the problem slightly, by e.g. defederating hexbear.
I doubt the centrists have a problem with Reddit
Oh Redditors will always find something to complain about:-)
Won’t someone think of the poor centrists!
Meh, if someone wants to they can… though my point here was logical consistency: a question was implicitly asked (why don’t more people come here) and I responded with exactly why. It is what it is. We cannot both have our cake (be unwelcoming to people, especially those exact type of people) and eat it too (wishing more people would come).
