That was nice for us old people.
Idiotic position in 2024.
**APPROVED! **
Im glad to see this. Discord is a nightmare. It's the same as a Facebook only group to me.
Had the random API one the other day. Was nuts. Also the 5 second delay for Firefox too when it was a thing.
No different than any other project the PM/PO team cooks up. Tons of work for no user base.
I saw one in the wild the first time a couple weeks ago on an interstate. It looks so fucking dumb in person. The pictures don't do it justice of how insanely stupid looking it is.
Meanwhile in the usa... Our very own real estate fraudster with 91 felony charges is the pick of 50% of the country to be president.
That was bizarre to type. I can't believe this is reality.
I got this while on a VPN, I'd assume reddit is trying to accomplish:
- Blocking malicious attempts from anonymous Ips
- Blocking Data Scraping
- Forcing users to divulge their ip information for tracking purposes.
... and I am starting to see user agent and VPN blocks now just within the last few days... It's officially over, so glad to be here. Been in the fediverse since the API shutdown. Bouncing between instances. First post on this one! Absolutely no regrets.
Need these bots as a browser addon now. When your using a VPN these things are the bane of your Internet browsing experience.
