Stallman weeps.

Must be attempt #1000000 to make me get their effing app. Reddit can‘t you see in the cookie that I declined, every time?

Reddit knows full well we declined the cookies, but they keep """fOrGeTtInG""" to fix this bug... absolutely infuriating.

It took them a year to fix the redesign opt-out. I'm extremely grateful that Lemmy is a usable alternative now

It's a dark pattern but you don't have to use the app, if you log in it will let you view.

Also, old.reddit.com usually doesn't have all these shenanigans, so I just set up a redirect.

Nice, any tips on doing that for an entire home network? Or do you have to do it per device somehow

You can run your own DNS server locally. I run an unbound server on my router but you can also run dnsmasq on a raspberry pi or something. Pihole uses that. Then you can do whatever you want with local DNS (doesn't help with devices like Chromecast that ignore your local configs, for that you need your own router, which I also recommend. I use pfsense).

You'll need a local webserver running to serve the redirect, but that's a simple nginx config. Maybe I'll write a blog post for this stuff...

Can you do this without triggering SSL certificate validation issue?

Or do you have to manually accept your own SSL certificate (at which point you perhaps might as well install a redirect extension)?

I use a a chrome extension for it. Otherwise when I hit their wall on another device or browser, I just skip it. Reddit seems fine with killing themselves off, I'm not going to any great length to mitigate their mistakes.

There are browser plugins to redirect to old.reddit.com.

I don't want to log in either, so that comes down to "Do you want the shit sandwich or the shit omelette?"

You don’t have to login either iirc. If you don’t want to use old Reddit, there is an option to open in the browser anyway. At least for me on iOS + Firefox.

He probably gave it to Noam Chomsky.

A completely different person. Wow.
