I know Reddit now has a stupid rule or policy about new accounts posting or commenting. They punish new users for just trying to have a conversation. Why does Reddit hate privacy? Is it just in the system trying to filter out bots? Well, it is doing a shitty job since bots are still a high percentage there. Reddit banned me, even when I was on the new user friendly subs. I tried with multiple locations with a VPN too. This has to make people go to other platforms. Like I did, I moved here.
Personally use redlib if i need to open reddit, works like a charm + no account needed.
Deleted my account months ago and spun up my own redlib instance behind a VPN container. Definitely one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time.
I did make a new account since but it’s literally just for trying to trade items in a game, I explicitly don’t use it to browse or comment on any thread but my own.
I get permabanned after 12 years and a million Karma during the post-Inauguration bloodbath, but I’d like to get back on, just for guitar and music subs.
Will Redlib allow me to get back on Reddit? I looked at it, and I can’t make heads or tails of it. I need an idiot-proof solution, because I’m an idiot.
It’s basically a read-only frontend, mostly meant to enable browsing the site but blocking out all of their tracking etc. You won’t be able to comment or vote or anything, but you can browse and subscribe to subs as “normal” (though it’s cookie-based, so if you clear your browser out you’d need to rebuild it up, unless you’re hosting your own instance in which case you can set your own defaults).
