A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

And they really don't stop comin, eh? Corporate social media sites in general keep shooting themselves in the foot lately lmao, I think we're about on track for a massive overhaul in how the internet looks sometime soon. Or, that's what I hope anyways :x

Maybe this will be the beginning of a new age. Let Reddit and Twitter and Facebook join MySpace, Digg, LiveJournal, AOL, Prodigy, and other relics of the past in the Internet's graveyard.
