Libreddit gone tomorrow.

Wonder how long Invidious and FreeTube will last?

[cyberseihis]

It's so over

[devgaucho]

At least reddit still has the old.reddit.com. Which is a pretty descent front-end (as long as you don't care with privacy), with twitter, you are pretty much forced to use that horrible garbage interface. But yeah, this data rush pretty much will make all platforms to garden walled themselves.

There are plenty of people who only engage in the modern internet through front-ends; myself being one of them. I have no interest in registering for sites; it took me ages to register a proper git.

One wonders what will happen when these self-inflicted stab-wounds deplete 'profit' rather then generate it?..
Removing access isn't going to make people want to use a site more.
And it certainly won't inflate user numbers, which I'd imagine is the end goal.

C'est la vie.

I'm glad I got to experience the internet as it was.

[animegrafmays]

thoughts?

[codybrom]

No chance in hell this is temporary unless it affects ad revenue

[orbea]

Maybe people will be smart enough to stop using proprietary garbage finally...

[ericpa06]

"Temporary emergency" measure that will always be in place forever.

I can confirm after building that fork that it also has the same issue

But privacydev.net isn't.

That instance is always pegged from the sheer volume of traffic alone.
