 Oh, how low reddit has fallen. https://image.nostr.build/622df7890f8ef479e121d4a67102ac6ccfa014e3ec31564a59f077f203d71691.jpg 
 T’is the fate of all centralized systems. 
 Were so early, beyond Titcoin, Were early on multiple fronts. Like time warp early, let them twist till they happily join us.  
 One of the FEW that never used this shite 💩 ! 
For no reason i felt it was Pointlesss !

 That little cartoon Nazi vould like to see your paperz

 They’re really making this easy for us aren’t they? 
 Left when they started requiring an email, never looked back 🤙 
 You don't need an email. Just click next 
 I hadn’t looked in years but as of now sign up seems to require google or apple log in, or email. Years before, I only had a username and password and one day they didn’t let me log in without adding an email 🤷🏻 
 Nah, its a scam to get data. Try it, just click next.  
 Can’t, could give a fake email, but I don’t really want services that promote data collection anyway 
 Weird, i've made several without an email. Old and new layouts 
 I believe some core engineering team or chair person that has been there since the early days has kept aspects of the old reddit alive as best they can. 
The platform has gone way downhill but you can still visit the old layout by adding the old. Prefix and sign up without an email, start a subreddit and if it's on good behavior and moderates well, be left alone. They might suspend for really obscure dumb reasons though, if they think you are a bot using VPN and tor.
I say this as someone who deleted their large karma account in protest. 

I use "Stealth" on f-droid to keep up with the few good communities left. 
 Truth. I don’t go past the gate for such silliness. 
 I know, I hate the VPN cuckblocking. On android I use RedReader to bypass that, but nothing works on the desktop anymore, at least consistently. Sometimes the old reddit Firefox add on will bypass it 
 Use Lemmy. 
 Lemmy? 
 Wow.
“I think I’ve been blocked by mistake.”

“Well then now you’re double-plus blocked.” 
 Overran by woke libtards for a long time anyway 
 *tips fedora* 
 same s€$t when behind vpn… 
 Just give em a passport and measure you’re cock for them. Whats the issue ?! 
 Oh come on, we all know men exaggerate their length 😜 
 😂 
 I wish. Nobody ever wants to let me put it in their butt 😅😭 
 Butts are for shitting bro 💩 
 I was at a church group one time, some mens group about some kinda sex topic and the pastor is like god is cool with any sex act between a man and a woman as long as you're married so you can fuck her in the ass (I'm paraphrasing). 

I was like damn I know what this mufucker doin at home 
 😳what the actual F 
 I'm not sure they learnt what happened to myspace et al 
 how low the world has fallen 
 This shit from Twitter and Reddit was really helpful in getting me to fully quit checking them 🙏 
 Not only that, but also the censorship and the fact that you are banned for saying harmless things 🤮  
 Also no access via VPNs anymore. They can GFT. 
 I like the mix of cute and creepy.
Did anybody ever make a dystopian cyberpunk comic/movie/game where everything is cute? The only remote thing coming to mind is „We Happy Few“. 
 "network security"... How specific.  
 Wtf is this? 
 #Nostr only 
 The irony is most redditors think you should be able to vote without ID 😂 
 I wish nostr communities worked. Right now it’s a bit of a mess, but I’m hopeful that we can fix them. 
 Reddits been shit for a long time now 
 Gm 
 KYseeyoulater 
 Reddit is now a scam 
 Papieren, bite! 🤢  
 Everyone discover NOSTR clients in <2 years !! 
 Ed has destroyed so much of what Aaron Swartz created. In the process he created an army of Aaron's. 😂 Didn't see that coming did you Ed? 😂 
 @Snowden agreed but it's not enough. These cops stalked and bullied me all the way home. If they're not being babysat they come and harass and stalk me again. 24/7 get me out of here it is impossible to get a passport and transportation to the airport due to their non stop stalking and bullying  
 I will move to Russia in a heartbeat @Snowden I can't get Joseph to do anything  
 redit has been cesspool for a LONG time. 
 Ran into the same thing the other day and posted the same screenshot 😂 
 been dead for a while now 
 been dead for a while now 
 thank god for stacker.news (and nostr!) 
 brutal 
 fuckinell. Let it die.  
 I hate GoogleReddit
Im only on the damned thing to see neighborhood information.
Like Im on Facebook to access local mkplace 
 Got this recently too over vpn 
 Lmfao the fedora. It’s self-aware 
 Identity is going to be the defining issue for the next many years. A bigger issue than AI; indeed, AI’s promise and perils pivot in good part on our revisiting the founding principles of digital identity.

 Nostr could fix and be a viable solution to Reddit, we just need developers to spend more time building out Communities on Nostr. This feature feels like 80% of the way there. It's so close to being a good alternative.

 Easily bypassed with tor. Goddamn, can we stop this dystopian bullshit already? 
 @Snowden I'm still worried about my safety every single day when I got dropped off at home I looked over at the steak out spot and there were cars there despite being told to leave me alone. It never stops it keeps happening I've had enough one day I hope to get out of this country and to where ever my bodyguard Ed is 
 Reddit sucks anyway
