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.

Even in corporations that are committed to a good culture of kindness, you can still find opponents who won't hesitate throw you under the bus in order to further an agenda.

Using active tone in corporate is risky, because office politics can accuse it of being aggressive/hostile in order to block a policy. They don't necessarily care that the messenger winds up getting written up by HR and sent to sensitivity training.

I find myself being very careful about then tone of my emails after getting caught in the crossfire between two warring factions. Passive tone is less likely to come back to haunt you.

I really hate having to navigate office politics, but it is what it is.
