Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lo (kbin.social)

r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them

the OP asked how are they gonna remove them all, so I replied they'll run a query for terms like "fuck spez". only to find my comment invisible, because they're already blocking it. spez protective word filter, it's active right now.

Every so often I think “well every company is shit so why not go back to the communities I love on Reddit”. Then another thing like this surfaces and it reinforces my boycott.

A lot of people send me Reddit links. Is there any way to load them without actually visiting the site? Like a mirror or archive?

You can also use LibRedirect addon to redirect Reddit/Twitter/etc automatically to alternative frontends.

Interesting. Does it rely on the API? It just states "All requests go through the backend" but if this got popular, wouldn't it eventually hit the same API call limit apps are facing?

You have also other privately run instances, you can check the list on Github or somewhere else

Bad move to use reddit in a name for a product that is nearly identical to the other company's product which has a trademark on the name.
