Interesting thread linked in that article—mentions that usage has dropped on new reddit, but TPTB don’t care because they’re making bank on all the new ads.

what the fuck
There are many instances of Redlib which can be used to sidestep reddit dot com. I'd recommend finding a few good ones if you find yourself getting info from reddit very often. Or better yet, host your own.
What I would like to know, though, is what is the best way to automatically use a Redlib instance whenever I click a reddit dot com link on my device. I have an app from f-droid called "sidestep" which works ok but not great. I'm looking for something which ideally works on both android and Linux.
I have Privacy Redirect on FF and added the redlib instance manually.

It stull punishes new users just trying to comment. It is a garrrrbage!
Byyyeeeee
I've been banned so many times there's no point in even visiting that site anymore.
I got banned for reasons I don't really understand. So, I just accepted it and it's fine.
They never explained the reasons to me either.
They do that to me for fun apparently.
