How can it be privacy focused if it is terminating my TLS connection to Reddit? Your Reddit browsing patterns are just going to accumulate at Teddit.

Given the increased importance of things like /r/wallstreetbets, this data could be pretty valuable.

It could be privacy focused by not accumulating that data.

Is there some reason I should believe they won't when it is clearly in their interest to do so?

What value could they realistically get from aggregated Reddit browsing habits if they're not selling ads or even setting cookies? If they just want to see what's popular they can just use the Reddit API to get that data, or just go to the site.

So the burden is on me to show they are untrustworthy, rather than the burden being on them to show they are more trustworthy than Reddit?

"Why should I trust whoever runs this" is a very different question than "How can this be privacy focused", unless you believe people always have to act unethically if they can.

I don't see the distinction. To me, it's just "how do I know this isn't a watering hole attack for developers?"
