    I was banned for saying “If you see a fascist, punch a fascist.” But, I’ve still been reading a couple of subs there. I guess this is the end of Reddit for me. Oh, well.

    The only way for me to read reddit is to use the tor browser. VPN has been blocked for years.

        Unclear what you mean. Are you saying you can get an RSS feed for Reddit posts?

          Yeah, you just add .rss at the end of the community, like https://www.reddit.com/r/feedly.rss or https://www.reddit.com/r/technology.rss

      I think it will have to link to “normal” Reddit, and if you’re logged into an account with the old Reddit setting checked it should redirect.

      Of course this is just Reddit trying to make this less convenient and probably attempting to collect more data on old.reddit users, and I expect them to routinely “accidentally” break the redirect but we might be able to keep the bot ?

        They keep trying to kill it but the community has done a pretty good job keeping it going.

    This is a reminder for reddit communities and users to move to the fediverse.

    I still uses reddit without account to anonymously browse some communities, and have no intention to create an account.

    I don’t get it… isn’t that what they were already doing? I have to log in and reset reddit to lesscrappier.reddit every damn time.

      I’ve manually gone to old.reddit on mobile for years because the normal site blocks scrolling to advertise the app after a bit.

      I’ve had an extension on desktop that redirects all reddit urls to old.reddit for even longer, since it comes up in search results so much.

      Neither of these require being logged in today.
