  • Yea many people have this same problem, including me.

    I went far to try to not get shadowbanned.

    Downloaded a virtual machine > installed Ubuntu with all configs set to Netherlands > Only boot it when VPN to Netherlands is on > Downloaded Google Chrome > Accepted all kind of cookies I've seen > Created a new outlook email with the same IP > Created a Reddit account with SMS confirmation from Neatherlands and confirmed email.

    My account lasted 5 days, I was able to post once, many people commented and upvoted, after that they removed all my posts and shadow banned my comments.

    I also got a timeout of 6min between comments (more or less) since first day.

    At the end it doesn't worth it. The platform is full of toxicity and AI bots, here is a much healthy place, for now at least.

    They're flagging everybody, it's nearly impossible to interact there as a new user. Worst part it that it's not preventing bots, you still see a lot of AI generated posts and comments.

  • Not much if the guy isn't bullet proof, any weapon would kill him, surely it won't be like movies where heroes dodge bullets all the time.

  • I wonder if you can run Waydroid on mobile linux, it'd feel like an Android phone, but you'll have more control over it because it's actually just a container inside your OS, easily root etc...

  • They can't know at what minute you paused or resumed a video via server side (this is sick to me)... Actually, this doesn't even make sense, if they are able to know all of that via server-side why send redundant data via client-side?

    I took a look and besides the amount of info they send, what draw my attention is that they send an accurate flag if you're using an adblocker or not, not sure why tho, but they know who use and who don't, they just chose to do nothing.

    There are way more if you inspect it closely.

    It's the endpoint of new reddit that I mentioned in the post, if you block it the feed won't load anymore.

  • I tried to use it a few days ago and the toxicity is insane, it feels like Reddit is filled with trash talking kids to draw attention to themselves or AIs.

    You can't have a healthy discussion there anymore.

  • The old reddit will work fine my friend, the new one won't.

  • How would this be better than Linux mobile?

  • You really can't tell that this isn't being used for evil practices, personal info is leaving your machine via client-side requests, end of story. You can use your judgement, but by fact, you can't really tell anything. I wouldn't trust Reddit, if you trust them good of your.

  • If you want to believe Reddit is using it merely to make their website to work properly, be my guest.

  • Yes, so when we're talking about calls to /api/* we're talking about old.reddit.com, I didn't say anything about calls to this endpoint on new reddit, the problem with new Reddit are calls made to https://www.reddit.com/svc/shreddit/events with a lot of trackers. It can't be blocked.

  • I think you didn't understand, this api isn't necessary to the site work properly, your upvotes and downvotes will still work as intendeed.

    You must block: www.reddit.com/api/* not reddit.com/api/*

    Then you'll see everything works fine on old.reddit.com. Except the chat.

  • Inspect this request by yourself and you'll see, they send info about everything, this is not normal. If this is normal all Ublock Origin team work is non-sense, why bother blocking trackers on client-side? If, according to you, they can tracker the same way via server-side.

    Blocking this request is a layer of protection, not a silver bullet to not be tracked, other means should be used for that.
