Don’t give them any traffic, just watch a stream of place on twitch
It’s funny how strong the magnetic force of watching this unfold in real time is. Not as strong as the first time, but this time around it has the added fascination of watching a train wreck unfold in slow motion. Somehow it makes it more captivating than the second round was.
Still, I’d argue the better advice would be to rather find something else to do than to watch paint dry in real time on r/place, giving Reddit traffic or not.
Have any recommendations? Lots of random channels and non-English
I hate Reddit like everyone else, but to be fair it’s always been that way.
Yeah, it never worked on 3rd parties either. It’s nothing new.
I have some experience working as a webdev and I don’t exactly understand why “non-desktop-browsers” would “not work” when desktop-browsers work. That isn’t the case unless you specifically and intentionally make it that way.
No it’s 100% intentional. The mobile web app has been similarly hamstrung to drive you to use the app as much as possible for that sweet sweet native app data collection.
There isn’t a desktop app that they want to send you to, but there is a mobile app.
You can enable desktop mode in your browser or, as someone pointed out, stick “.i” onto the very end of the URL.
Or just don’t go. I mean, there are whole communities on the Thrediverse where you can creatively complain about Reddit. Not like one has to go to Reddit to find upset people doing that.
Which is exactly how it was designed to work. /sigh
But then surely “it has always been this way” is not true.
It’s obviously a trap.
Just request desktop site from your mobile browser 3-dot menu
Edit: also use old.reddit to fight the redirect
Doesnt work on my phone. It knows it’s a phone and pushes the mobile ap even on old.reddit and even with desktop mode.
You may need to switch to a different browser then. I was just able to open it in Firefox with request desktop site turned on. Some mobile browsers still send mobile identification even when requesting the desktop site.
Now I feel dirty for having opened their site and proving their intent to boost traffic with yet another place event true…
I’m using firefox on my phone and it still does it. I’ve also tried other browsers. They all do it. Normally you get about 3-5 min before the popup arrives and then you have to clear your cache to get another 5 min.
Well that’s your sign to get the fuck off reddit and quit giving pig boy Huffman the traffic he wants.
God damnit, I am retarded. I was repeatedly clicking on the image.
“Not now”Request desktop then use old.reddit as well
I don’t think r/place works on old reddit. Better to just watch a twitch stream
of course the losers on the osu sub have already organized a 1000 person discord call to camp their one logo. They really don’t care about the pathetic reddit abuse
I can understand why a lot of people would want to just move on but Reddit lost me entirely when spez accused the creator of Apollo of trying to blackmail him.
It was proven false then spez doubled-down on the lie. That, in my opinion, is much worse than the API changes because 1 is a company’s choice, no matter how bad, and the other may as well be a crime.
That massive red flag should be impossible to ignore.
It was a crime. Defamation. Though I don’t know how that plays out internationally, spez definitely committed a (very difficult to prove) crime.
Using firefox on android and going to the “new” site works perfectly. with ublock I don’t even see any ads.
Same thing last time.
Cruel joke.
I loathe being pushed to an app just because I’m on a mobile device. It’s a huge red flag to me.
Lmao, they have to be desperate 😂
Use the desktop mode of the mobile browser. Works in Firefox for Android at least.
