I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.

The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don’t speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.

If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or… redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

    On the 12th, I uninstalled rif, signed up at Beehaw, heard about Jerboa and installed that, and put the icon for that where the rif one used to be on my home screen. I haven’t been back to Reddit since.

      I’ve been pressing the pressing the same spot on my phone for 13 years to access Reddit.

      Just putting the kbin app there was all I needed to migrate.
