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.

yeah, i mean, why do you think we're using this platform right now

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

I mean yeah, reddit fucking sucks. That's why we're all here. Stop going there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

You can open as a desktop page and it works... Or you know... Old.reddit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

They have done this for a long time now.

Dear Spez: I AM NEVER EVER GOING TO DOWNLOAD YOUR FUCKING APP

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago

Dear Steve.

He ain’t ever going to read that. Can we stop talking about our ex yet?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Easy fix is to update the url to use "old.reddit.com" rather than the base "www.reddit.com".

That sends you to a version of the site without a bunch of the crap.

any idea how reddit keeps banning my alt accounts ? I am suspecting chrome broswser is complicit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Many ways to detect this, but let's start with the basics: Are you using the same Ip address?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Take a break from Reddit, uninstall all apps, clear cookies off all your browsers for reddit.com, wait a few weeks for your IP address to change, then make a new account.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This doesn't work anymore. I just refresh it and stop somewhere in the middle and it sometimes works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Old Reddit works for me. Does it just not work in general for you, or does it not work when not logged into an account?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well, I think the link structure changed. If I add old to the url, the page doesn't even work, but the homepage does.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Did you get a browser error when trying this? It might be because you left the www in the URL. I had to remove that and replace it with old, and it works. The rest of the link structure is the same on both old and new reddit. I even tried it from a VPN just to be sure it wasn't seeing my logged in cookies, and in a private browsing window where RES isn't allowed to run. Worked fine.

Interesting. I'll have to test it when I get home. I'm always signed in and I use RES so could be some other factors causing it to not be a problem for me.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I know it has nothing to do with protecting the users, but how exactly is the app supposed to make viewing unreviewed content safer?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

They make more money that way, ergo safer for investors.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Theyve been doing this for years

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They are doing everything they can so you download their app.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Their support site says my browser is unsupported

I already have a web app (my browser) so I’ll never download individual apps for sites (maybe tapatalk app since it covers many)

If the website doesn’t work then I just browse something else

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago

The only decent way to browse Reddit nowadays is a private frontend called Redlib. You can use the LibRedirect browser extension or the UntrackMe Android app to automatically redirect all Reddit links to Redlib. It's better for privacy, since you don't need to access Reddit directly and thus your information isn't exposed, it works without JavaScript, it doesn't have ads or trackers and works behind a VPN or Tor. It also lets you view NSFW content without any limitations.
