I just remembered that there are torrents with crawled text from reddit. I wonder if there's a way to browse local data like that like you would with a search engine? Reddit's value is in old content anyway. I never tried it myself but there are tools to browse wikipedia locally like that iirc.
Ah, you noticed, huh?
Sign to stop my occasional reddit use.
The only reason I was going was for free games but now I have an app called steam letter
So really, not a single reason for me left to go there. FGoS and FGF were the only reasons I visited over the last 3 years
Fuck AI, but I can literally use Cursor to build a wrapper to view reddit in old reddit, no account needed. It's easy. Also fuck spez and all of his nazi loving admins.
