What is Reddit doing

I don't use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn't find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.

I am not going to like the day they remove that.

I have, I just use it to view Reddit without an account.

I have left, I just view Reddit...

So you haven't left Reddit. Like saying you left Google but still Google search without logging in.

  • Do you think developers have any say in this?
  • They have Reddit Premium for free, and most likely an internal version too.

https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib There's some redirect browser addons like LibRedirect that can automatically redirect you to redlib instances.

Highly recommend this. It takes some time setting a default instance that isn't down or broken for some sites but worth it.

Some sites seem to just be broken and the only option from what I can tell but it certainly worked well for Reddit. Just had to filter out the specific instances that don't allow for NSFW posts at all.
