That admin straight lying about entire UX and reddit design, it has been cancer since old.reddit.com. It's so bad that made me stop using years ago, I only check now and then.

Reddit should stop existing soon, just like quora, orkut, digg and many others.

The final nail. I was an avid Redditor for the first few years but dropped off when the hive mind started taking over. Today, I just read some movie and music/feedback on there. Nothing worth making an account for.

I'm not against it. Hopefully it will reduce the AI slop a bit and make Reddit better

Yeah screw this. When this change goes live, I'm gonna stop contributing to Reddit at all. I already refuse to login on mobile, and if I can't even access the site there, there's no reason to help them on desktop either.

I genuinely hope an alternative becomes popular soon, ideally a federated or decentralised one that doesn't have any of these risks associated with it.
