When using https://search.fabiomanganiello.com/search to web search, Reddit links were previously replaced with a liberating front-end which I think was run by the same person. At some point, that was dropped and we now get direct Reddit links. It sucks but at least reddit was functional. No longer. Today my search led to a thread that I had just a couple minutes to read before Reddit pushed a /members only/ block screen.
Circumvention attempts:
- overlay remover extension – has no effect
torsocks lynx reddit.com/yadayada– blank screentorsocks elinks reddit.com/yadayada– blank screen- archive.org – I got lucky… IAWM happened to have archived the article I needed. Cannot generally rely on this though.
- teddit – Ted is dead… see below
Codeberg becomes tor-hostile? Microsoft Github more inclusive?
There is teddit, which is likely the 3rd party frontend that enabled free-world access to Reddit content. To get info on Teddit, I tried to visit the Codeberg project. “Access denied”. WTF? So then I go to Microsoft’s repo. Microsoft gives the Tor community access but Codeberg does not.
The MS-hosted Teddit repo lists instances but all are dead apart from some Cloudflare instances which I don’t care to enter. Did Reddit do something to sabotage Teddit?
I can access the codeberg project no problem. I’m using IVPN and firefox on linux.
Not all demographics of people are excluded. Try it with Tor.
