I am so glad I'm off reddit. Even though I could use their help on a great number of subjects. Neverheless, because Isreal I can't use reddit apparently. Not permabanned yet but they are on my shit with fake violations like right away now. I abandon them after a 2nd violation, go through one every 3 to 6 months when using it.

Every single company that goes public gets worse, reddit will be no exception. Those craven amoral cockscum are not to be trusted, nor patronized with our words they can use for their own benefit.

Wait. How does that work? Wouldn't plain html be safer because it's JUST html?? Or are there vulnerabilities in just html that I'm not aware of?

They could use a WAF to block AI scrapers, and both Cap and Shieldstral together to block most AI posters but they won't bother.

Whether or not it requires a login for old.reddit.com depends on client IP. I see this on a few networks, not on others.

Apart from all that, what would prevent an AI knowledge thieving tool from using an actual account on Reddit?

[–] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

One would need more than 1 account...

As if that would stop an AI agent.
