On iOS I use Sink it for reddit to get around this

This is a community for designs specifically crafted to make the experience worse for the user. This can be due to greed, apathy, laziness or just downright scumbaggery.
Why did you have to delete it twice? Once did it for me (kidding) But back when reddit was cute (long long ago) they had this thing where they’d ask “are you sure” a lot of times and switch buttons and stuff to trick you (in a playful way) I liked it back then
I've heard rumours that of you change your agent string in your browser you can get past this, tho not tested yet.
Tiktok does something like this (yeah i get alot of tiktoks from some of my friends)
I use Dystopia for the occasional usage of Reddit out of necessity. One day once there are federated groups for all I need, I’m ditching Reddit entirely forever.
