if you want to post links or discuss Reddit over the next while, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy, thanks! (a more formal body may be forthcoming, but that'll come in the morning if so)

Unsure if this is off-topic for this thread so feel free to delete if that's the case.

/r/firefox now looks like this.

I can't help but love when subreddits do this in response to the threat of removing mods if they stay private. I remember there were some that were posting "sexy" pics of John Oliver. iPhone was limited to posting "sexy" pics of Tim Cook. Working with what they have in order to continue their protests. I like it😁

It has malicious compliance written all over it 🙃

It forces Reddit’s hand even more IMO; if you start forcing a sub to stay on a certain topic by admin order (and not by mod’s / community “owner” choice), it really sets a weird tone for the community

If admins want to force certain subs to stay on certain topics, they can moderate them by their own f#ckin' selves.

I for one love these new changes to the Firefox Reddit 🦊

oh, the teddit thing looks neat, like a perfect backhand slap. good enough to just see and not interacting. I didn't know how much history on reddit until I run the power delete suite script, it just keeps going. 9 years sure has a lot of stuff on it. XD

Yep, Teddit works well for me because I don't have a Reddit account. It's quick and privacy respecting. I think I may have found it through the Privacy Redirect extension for Firefox.

Unfortunately teddit and libreddit rely on the API so many instances may break tomorrow

I think you're probably correct.
