Ya know. The fact that active users was going down made me feel like part of the 1% of stubborn assholes but ever since RiF went dark the only time I've been on reddit is when a Google search took me there because fuck spez. I'm in it for the long haul. I won't be going back. And ya know what? Fuck Google too. I've migrated to Firefox and DuckDuckGo since then too. Idk maybe it's just cause I am stubborn but I refuse to be a hypocrite.

Agreed. I may be principled to a fault, but I'll never go back to Reddit. It has that corporate miasma to it now.

Truth be told, it had the miasma long before the API changes, but that was the point where the boiled frog croaked for me.

I've done the same. Even installed linux on my gaming rig. Also moved everything to proton.

I've installed Libreddit to redirect any Google searches that lead me to Reddit. They're not getting my visit!

I hope you're donating to the respective libreddit instance hoster, because unlike Reddit, they're not a multibillion corporation with a steady ad income to pay for their traffic

If you're not, then I suggest you use old.reddit.com with uBlock Origin
