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 loathe being pushed to an app just because I’m on a mobile device. It’s a huge red flag to me.
Using firefox on android and going to the “new” site works perfectly. with ublock I don’t even see any ads.
Use the desktop mode of the mobile browser. Works in Firefox for Android at least.
Lmao, they have to be desperate 😂
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.
Non-US citizens can sue within the US the same as any US citizen can. It’s the same rules where first standing has to be proven and go from there.
An example of this playing out was when Elon falsely called that submarine British guy living in Thailand a pedo on Twitter (more than once actually). He was able to sue Elon in US courts (I believe he lost that case for some BS reason or another, but the point is it can be done).
So I think the issue here is with the US. The evidence disproving the blackmail was in the form of a recorded phone call. In Canada that is perfectly legal but in the US there needs to be consent or it’s inadmissible in court.
I’d provide links but I don’t have time at the moment and honestly don’t want to go back to Reddit to find them but the main post was on the Apollo subreddit. If it still exists it shouldn’t be difficult to find. It even included full downloads of the phone call.
Edit: worth saying I don’t believe the creator of Apollo intends to sue so this is all hypothetical on our behalf.
In the united states as far as I understand federal law says all you need is one party consent so as long as one person on the call consents to being recorded it’s fully allowed. Unless you aren’t part of the conversation it would be fully legal and allowed to be evidence. I’m not super familiar with this blackmail case but majority of the states and federally it would be completely legal to record conversations and use them in court as long as one person consented to recording
Just request desktop site from your mobile browser 3-dot menu
Edit: also use old.reddit to fight the redirect
God damnit, I am retarded. I was repeatedly clicking on the image.
“Not now”
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.
It’s obviously a trap.
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.
Which is exactly how it was designed to work. /sigh
