I ended up deleting my Reddit accounts. Spend less time manually typing subreddits in or even using Reddit at all. I’m sure something else will take over but for now this and tildes leaves not much. There is more time for books or other things.

I wonder if a huge swath of people started batch edit-deleting poisoning old comments, gpdr delete requests, and deleting accounts that Reddit would respond. It would greatly reduce their search clicks and we’ll be on stackoverflow, discord, or something else soon.



In my case I just run

      lynx gopher://gopherddit.com 
with a tweaked lynx.cfg to display images with sxiv and videos with mpv.

Only for /r/retrobattlestations, maybe /r/worldnews and /r/vintageunix.
