Great job jabronis - attached picture is what the site looks like on an old phone. All the buttons are broken and do nothing, except for the Modlog which somehow is still accessible. Tried different browsers on the phone, tried clearing all the cookies and cache, still doesn’t work.

EDIT: This came off a bit hot and aggro - it just sucks since pre-migration the site worked fine on my dinosaur phone, so I’m pretty frustrated. Makes me appreciate communist web-design (like marxists.org and redsails.org) even more.

Serious question, do you have any idea what you’re even asking for? You gonna mail Layla an Iphone 6 from a decade ago to see if our site works on a shitty outdated version of safaris rendering engine?

Great, you’re asking for a large amount of labor and testing on old hardware that doesn’t work solely because of a decision Apple made. This is an insane attitude about technology as complicated as this particular website.

i imagine old phones are easy to emulate, although in this specific case it sounds like that’s not even necessary as disabling js in any browser should have a the same problem

Do you think the devs just don’t give a shit? Being a communist involves actually understanding labor and it’s conditions, not just demanding ready-made commodities, contrary to what Republicans say.
