From the niches I hang out in I’d argue that the “keep politics out of my XYZ” mofos are losing pretty hard right now. Granted given how niches work we almost certainly do not visit the same fandom areas. It was absolutely glorious seeing the entire Silksong subreddit at war with Asmongold for 2-3 weeks.

You could make a burner reddit account, sign up for a developer key, fork the source from RIF, feed it the developer key and keep making free queries to the API with your dev key. Essentially in the final update for RIF the developer made the application just hoover up old.reddit.com and pass it into the reader.

With your Dev key bypassing the cost to browse old.reddit.com the application worked near flawlessly for about 3 years. As someone who setup this zombie app under “my own development and testing” I can confirm it is now dead.

Fun last things the RIF dev gave us before it went out was methods to near completely block data collection about us, I always got the most generic reddit page ever. No algorithm, just essentially /r/all unfiltered it was great.

RIP, guess I’m here more than before now.

Maybe I’m just attracted to rule breaker threads. <3

Not so much in this Lemmy, other ones really.

Lately in all of the lemmys like each time I go to look at my replies (if I ever get one), the reply, my comment, and the thread are all gone. I’m often thinking it’s mods just nuking threads because of inflammation or whatever.
