“We respect when you and your communities take action to highlight the things you need, including, at times, going private,” he said.

They respect it so much they forcibly remove mods to make them public again. That’s so respectful.

Reddit had a good run for over a decade, but as always with the internet, now a better thing will take its place.

For those in the thread who say it is hard not to go back for specific content, if you want to go back to browse but limit the ad revenue and clicks, you can still reach it with some front ends like teddit.

Here is a good link: http://farside.link/teddit.com

Or, for example, you can directly access subreddits by appending /r/yoursubreddit to the end http://farside.link/teddit.com/r/memes

Sometimes an instance will be down. If so, try it again in a few minutes or in a new browser or tab or clear the cache so another loads.

Completely stopped using Reddit since they blocked third party apps in July 2023. I never accessed Reddit through other channels than smartphone.

I’ve cut down on my Reddit use by a lot since the protests. I only occasionally browse the site, and I don’t comment on any subreddits save one niche one that hasn’t moved over to any other site.
