Ok, you do that, but people who don't want to get cut off from 400 million people, how do we fuck up and breakthrough reddit's anti anonimity defenses ?
Killing reddit is on the table, but is there a more practical approach ?
i dont have an account anymore but for anytime i need to view a reddit post i use RedReader. its an open-source thirdparty app thats still allowed to use reddits API for accesibility reasons.
Not to sound like I'm claiming to be up on a moral high ground or anything, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth using accessibility tools for non accessibility reasons when it comes to Reddit. Ordinarily, I wouldn't care, but Reddit has shown me that they don't give a shot about people who need accessibility tools at all. Allowing some of them to stay around was just a desperate attempt at preventing some bad PR. If they thought an accessibility tool was mainly used by people trying to bypass their stupid and greedy decisions, they would 100% kill it off in an instant
If you’re anonymously browsing the site without being logged in while on a vpn are you really being “cut off” from the people there?
I mean… if you have a relationship with those 400 million people that’s cultivated through your unrecorded, invisible, surreptitious reading of their comments that’s a deeply diseased thing.
