While I hate Reddit isn’t the fediverse basically horrible for privacy? It’s super easy to see everyone’s posts and IP addresses no? I thought anyone could basically download everything with very little effort and do whatever they want with it.
2017 was 7 year ago, Aaron died 11 years ago. There are a lot younger users who can't remember these things.
Let's see a 20 years old university student was 13 when the source was closed down, I think it's not easy to find a 13 years old who is familiar with such legal things.
I like how the original OP mention in passing that Reddit is bad for privacy.
Like, no shit? How can a privacy community be even remotedly healthy in such an environment?
It's like having a club for how to avoid the police within a prison, regulated by the guards.

Yep. Still going in a better direction than Reddit though.
Browsing reddit while using a VPN is verboten.
Good grief I despise that smug, winking snoo with a effing fedora that goes along with the error page.
woah there pardner!
Reddit was open source until 2017, and one of the founders was Aaron Schwartz. So it didn't look like that for a long time.
I guess we all know it, since we are interested in Privacy and not clueless enough to be on Reddit (anymore?).
The degeneration from a "safe" place to what it is now is what makes it particoularly egregious a place to avoid for anybody serious about privacy...

in 2017 my biggest concerns were that whether i can play PS3 with broken hand or not (i could)
No but it's much easier to find the 20 years old student interested in privacy that realyze right now that reddit is not open source...
