Unfortunately sometimes we are at some specific provider’s mercy for whatever reason like lack of appropriate alternatives.

- SV_BubbleTime 3mo agoIDK I’ve appreciated Reddit killing off good features like old version, putting a time-lock banner on mobile while logged out, trying to block VPNs when logged out, etc. I want that company devalued and bought by Verizon or AOL to die a Yahoo death. What is insane to me is how few people realize their stock has a higher P/E than nVidia… and it isn’t because of some bullshit minor AI data deals. It’s a youth-forward narrative machine, and everyone knows it.
- SXX 3mo agoRedReader still works. For now.

- pjerem 3mo agoFWIW, old.reddit.com is still there and working
- giantrobot 3mo agoShh, don't remind them.
- lenerdenator 3mo ago> I want that company devalued and bought by Verizon or AOL to die a Yahoo death. If the future's your oyster for what happens to Reddit, why stop there? If it's bought by somebody, that implies that Spez gets an amount of money that is greater than $0.00. Ideally, we avoid such a grim and unjust outcome. We want it to be made effectively worthless so he goes broke.
- al_borland 3mo agoI think Reddit falls under this category. > If your website will block me out because I used a privacy friendly email, I want nothing to do with your website.
- MoonWalk 3mo agoYep, toxic garbage staffed largely by same. Unfortunately, it has amassed quite a bit of potentially useful information.
- al_borland 3mo agoYou don’t need an account to access the information. It’s also all been sucked up my the LLMs, for better or worse.
- roboror 3mo agoIt's full circle now and a large portion of posts and comments are now LLM generated responses, whether by a bot or copy/pasted by a human.
- al_borland 3mo agoAll the more reason to stop visiting.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3mo agoReddit doesn't even require an email address to make an account. You can just leave the email field blank.
- Ferret7446 3mo agoBut it does require a valid phone number which is worse. (I might be misremembering but they definitely require a valid something now, as I found out a while back creating a new batch of accounts to rotate)
