Your kinda right. It’s more the back to back nature of Elon posts that’s annoying.
I kinda found out changing Lemmy’s sorting algorithm from Active/Hot to New posts helps spread out the news (and even helps unearth lesser covered issues).

Found a handy script to minimize this:

Agreed whats more annoying is getting double X posts back to back
On Firefox Nightly looks like they have v3 enabled
I kinda wonder how this will play out with ads. While apple is dipping their toes in advertising I suspect their main target appstore/ios apps not the general web (where content blockers exist and can block ads).
As per restricting legacy devices I doubt websites need to implement web integrity or private acess since they can just block acess via user agent (if some one tries to spoof anyway site won’t load due to outdated webkit not being able to render).
Good point.
This might sound silly but assuming you are using firefox or even safari how will this proposal affect these browsers. Only thing I can currently think of is banking sites (on android) would force you to use chrome and check play integrity (safteynet) to block acess.
At the end of the day won’t this only affect people using Google chrome? (Forks of chrome, firefox, safari could by pass the issue)?
Sorry if I seem a bit ignorant
Reminds of the 15 million merits episdoe in black mirror
Depends on the community. I do comment more than I post.
I see it as pointless and potential risks tarnishing the image that third party apps helped improve reddit (especially to normies/non techies who only use the official app and website).
What I don’t get is what will damaging the ipo achieve now that a lot of 3rd party apps are toast (Apollo, rif, reddit sync). Even if spez or reddit as a whole did a full 180 nothing would change on the prospect of 3rdparty apps.
Only thing reddit can change is improving the first party app and mod tools (given their stance was the api was never meant for 3rdparty apps after flip flopping).
As a user you have more or less 5 options:
completely switch to Lemmy (or similar alternative).
use the official reddit app and deal with it
use social media less (pull the plug overall per say)
Use a paid subscription 3rd party app (example infinity for reddit
use a modded version of 3rdparty apps with custom api or the official reddit app modded (ex vanced)
I hope this comment doesn’t come of too corporate or shill like
Silly question if you don’t mind me asking, when you got the pop up:
I never saw these popups just curious.
