The interesting thing is that it does not look like a permanent/always thing. A couple of days I also got these Pop-Ups (which you can circumvent by using "Desktop-Mode" in your mobile Browser) but I do not get them anymore. Is some kind of A/B testing ongoing or did they remove the changes?
True !
It will well and truly be dead and gone once old.reddit.com stops working. It remains the one good way to view the site, regardless of device.
My theory is that they realize that a significant number of power users on the site are still using old.reddit.com, so they are keeping it going because getting rid of it would turn the website into a ghost town. They will continue to push their app and new website because they can push more advertising through it to the people that are just there to consume.
You think there are still redditors around?
I think it's just troll farms and bots. Every once in a while someone stumbles into the site and says something. THEN there is a whirlwind of answers/speculations/theories/lies.
A.I is running the show. If I use a certain word or phrase I get filtered. If I say the exact same thing without those "catch phrases" then I see a few votes.
I treat the site as a test site for trying language that gets PAST the trolls.

Maybe its too on the nose to say so on Lemmy, but fuck Reddit right in the earhole. Their pearl-clutching, risk-averse, pro-corporate moderation-bot and tattle-tale system was the last straw.
You forgot to mention their being the cuckold of Israel, or perhaps the Gimp. Fuck Reddit better dead than Reddit is a username says on here.

"These users are already familiar with Reddit and we've seen that the experience is much better for them in the app. The app offers a more personalized experience and users can more easily find communities that match their interests."
Lmao. The personalization is exactly what I don't want, so fuck off. Also, it's pretty easy to circumvent. I'm sure there's multiple ways, but I just go to old reddit.

Reddit is a shit hole.
I hate reddit. They blocked all of my accounts for no reason. And they're so vague explaining why, and when I tried to appeal, the whole site crashed. Literally joined Lemmy yesterday.

I expect another migration from reddit to lemmy. I'm not saying we are going to explode, but expect some new people in the next few weeks.

Good.
The more of this they do, the more people move to federated sites.

Next, they will stop allowing to register with random email without confirmation
Edit: jut found out they already did it lol. Then next step will be to require phone number for all new accounts
