I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it’s crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we’re going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like “TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023” to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

    Idk how helpful this is, but LibRedirect basically redirects all reddit links (and other websites like youtube, twitter, tiktok) in your browser to a privacy front-end that doesn’t do any tracking or ads or things like that which is better than using the official reddit site.

      Redirector is another option for this. It’s a generic tool so it doesn’t have baked in rules, you have to specify your own. I use ^https://(old\\.|www\\.)?reddit.com/r/(.*) for the source pattern and https://your-favorite-libreddit-instance/r/$2 as the destination.
