They login gated and banned the ability to criticize reddit on r/mildlyinfuriating. Reddit cucks
I browse reddit without logging in and with an adblocker. From their perspective, I’m a parasite using resources but contributing nothing; I’m proud of that.
They’re in the final 5 years of their business model.
I can’t wait for the acquisition by private equity phase
All of their business decisions for the past few years have been centered around monetizing Reddit content as training data for machine learning models. Most likely this recent decision is an attempt to block data scraping.
Everything posted in the last few years should be considered poison anyway, so I don’t know why anyone would pay for it to use as training data.
Because they’re assholes. They don’t care about making a good product. They care about making money. Even though they already have a lot of money, they need more. No matter the cost.
Simple, reddit just want lemmy to succeed, so they gave us another shot!
Or any other frontend. Nadeko goes down somewhat often, but I’ve never failed to find a working frontend to switch to.
redlib.catsarch.com is my go to. It’ cat’s Arch btw
Who cares, fuck reddit, fuck Fart Huffmsn
ENSHITIFICATION
When I need to go to reddit for a niche community, I just go to old.reddit.com in Tor. Haven’t had it fail yet. When it does, I’ll officially be done with reddit.
eh. really? all tor exit nodes I think mapped - surprised that works. they definitely block my vpn
Dunno what that’s about but I frequently find that sites which block my VPN allow Tor. There’s also a reddit onion site.
I looked something up the other day and somehow found myself in a debate about political violence and got banned for saying violence against nazis is OK so fuck that website.
I said “fuck republicans”
I said something similar to that and got banned as well. so I said fuck it and came here much better here tbh.
Reddit is just Corporate. But you can browse reddit in Firefox with ublock and this custom script:
! 27 Jul 2026 https://www.reddit.com/ www.reddit.com###app-upsell-blocking-bottom-sheet-direct > .bg-transparent www.reddit.com##.rpl-bottom-sheet ! Prevent scroll locking scripts www.reddit.com##+js(rc, rpl-scroll-lock|scroll-is-blocked, html, stay) www.reddit.com##+js(rc, rpl-scroll-lock|scroll-is-blocked, body, stay) www.reddit.com##+js(aeld, touchmove, preventDefault)I can still browse r/Falcons just fine from my android phone, via duckduckgo browser on my home network with adguardhome dns AND via cell service
That’s nice for you.
I don’t want to anymore. Too much hustle
Then don’t. I just presented a way to bypass corporate greed. And making the site usable again if you end up on it for research.
Control
