On mobile, it prompts you to either "get the app" or "open app" with no way to click past. Screenshot won't upload.

This is worse from several months ago https://lemmy.today/post/8935690

    On the top right. Maybe it's some a/b testing to see which one "converts" (=annoys) more. I don't have the "just take me to the download" link like in the other image, just the X to close the login popup

    Unacceptable IMHO, I just want to give my clients an easy link to download the huge files I'm sending them without ads or tricks. With this wall many users will get confused and create a new account
