With the reddit API debacle far in the review, I'm wondering if any of you went back to the platform.

Edit: Looks like Spez was right :(

No. They ban VPNs, so if I happen to follow a link that leads there, I get the "login to see this" page, shrug, and go somewhere else.

It's easy to circumvent, but rarely worth the effort. The content was getting mostly shit-worthless even before I left. It's only gotten worse.

There's not useful, factual information on 4chan, these days.

Same. Same reason. Same thing.

I will admit that I've gone to reddit on a VPN with no sign in to look at 🎶porn-o-graphy🎶!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

That's probably the only content of value there, anymore.

Is it easy to circumvent? I use Tailscale to route everything through a VPN but use an App Connector to route Reddit through my home network, but I really hate that.

If you have an account you can use a VPN. Never had trouble

I don’t have an account and don’t participate, I use Reddit for informational purposes only.

I think if you have an account you can still use a VPN.

Yes, if you log in, you can get in. I deleted my account, and every post and comment I'd ever made, when I left, and I'll be damned before I create another account there.
