Since Reddit started preparing to file for the IPO it has really gone to shit. That is around the point I just gave up and went read-only. If you just want to find information RedReader is amazing. At least for the time being it is the absolute best way to browse Reddit privately. Even when the Reddit website blocks the IP of the VPN server I am using, RedReader is not affected for some reason.
I saw a few listings on XMRBazaar. Just search for “reddit” and you will find several. XMRBazaar itself is trustworthy but I cannot vouch for any of the sellers. Think of it kind of like Craigslist for Monero.
I tried many times during the past year. SimpleLogin aliases with and without a custom domain, Mullvad and ProtonVPN, etc. No matter what I did I always ended up being shadow banned the moment I posted pretty much any comment. In the end I decided it just doesn’t worth my time.
If you really have to, the only way that I think it would work reliably is buying an aged account that already has a bit of karma behind it for some XMR. Plenty people are selling them, but I am not gonna pay $30 for the privilege of using fucking Reddit.
Don’t forget The Hated One.
If you are actively blocking Cloudflare and you are still able to use the web services you rely on then I am genuinely jealous of you.
The answer is to get a used Pixel. With a bit of looking around you may be able to find some pretty good deals. The Pixel 8a is the sweetspot is my opinion. OEM minimum support until May 2031 and old enough to find at a very good price. But not that old for its battery to very likely be busted.
It’s getting harder and harder to defend those idiots. Come on Mozilla, WTF is that?
If you want privacy you should be using Monero. If you use Monero you can use the official wallet together with Trezor. In fact, if I am not mistaken you have to, because from what I recall the Trezor Suite has no support for Monero.
Exactly, it takes several seconds, and sometimes I close the app on my phone without realising it hasn’t synced yet and then when I go to my desktop it’s not there.
Because of this I find myself opting for the “Note to Self” feature on Signal more and more when I am on my phone. It is super basic, but when I put something there it appears instantly on all my other devices.
I use Joplin too for years, syncing however always felt quite slugish. And that besides the fact it does so over the network because I am using my self-hosted Nextcloud server as the syncing method. How has been your experience?
If it’s something like a bank or the government which already know my real identity then I don’t really care. For anything else, then I just don’t use the service.
We value your privacy
And this is why we are going to violate it in every way possible!
I use RedReader without an account for years and never had any issues with it. It’s one of the very few third-party apps that gotten a pass during the apiocalypse.
Signal may not be the best in a technical sense, but it is good enough and it has the network effect. I’ve been pleasantly surprised when in the span of a few months I met two different people actually in real life, who happened to already be using Signal.
Signal is also just as usable as the big tech alternatives, which makes it not a very hard sell to friends and family. For quite a few years now I have managed to convince everyone I communicate with to do so over Signal. There is no chance I would be as successful with something else.
I use Mullvad too and I have the exact same experience with having to keep switching servers until I am able to access the website. For some reason though RedReader does not appear to be affected by this. I guess they must be treating it differently since it is using the API. RedReader was one of the very few third-party clients that was spared during the APIcalypse.
