As lovely as r/legaladvice is, people who post on an account with weird poo poo in their history tend to get caught. It was especially funny before a bunch of the worst subs got deleted because you'd have people, eg, saying they were falsely accused of shoplifting, then you click their name and they had an extensive history in r/shoplifting. Or they'd say their abusive ex wife is trying to screw them in a divorce, then there's posts in r/incels to the effect of "I've never had a girlfriend because bitches just date assholes." Just the dumbest people on earth telling on themselves because they can't be bothered to make a throwaway.


The sub r/drama that did a great honeypot for catching pedos a while ago. They secretely banned anyone who also posted on teenagers and then got a bunch of angry messages from middle aged men wondering why they were banned lmao

I installed a piece of software from an unsigned source in China today called "XXX USB Video Driver" to power a £5 USB3 to HDMI adapter and, although I can't prove it, I'm certain it's somehow less shady than the Reddit app.

e: before you ask why I didn't spend more on a loving terrible dongle, it would've been an irresponsible overspend relative to the value of the laptop in question. It's kind of fun that when you plug it in it shows up as a CD ROM though lol

3. We can spam push notifications if you get on in your life and stop engaging with content.

Lol this is what happened when I clicked on a Reddit link. Cool site design

There's some offbeat subreddits (I've seen it with ones covering paranormal and conspiracy/psychosis stuff) that don't just do the "better in the app" thing but literally won't let you access them via https://www.reddit.com in a mobile browser. I don't know how they flag them but it's like a pissweak quarantine:


Alternate domains like old.reddit.com (or np. or whatever else you can find) will bypass the nag screens.

It's better to not use reddit at all though. Using social media is like playing poker at the casino - unless it's literally your profession the more you play the more you will lose, and you might think the other players are the problem but it's the house that sets the rules for its own benefit.

I don't actually "browse" reddit, that seems like a sure way to end up suicidal

I only know about its behavior from looking poo poo up and finding the best answer there(basically never happens except video games). Its hard to avoid if you play games

I don't even know "how" to browse reddit. I was told to just "google reddit subject" and that's how you find their stuff. I don't know everything they have. I've learned SO much by actually browsing through the SA forums on subjects I didn't even know I wanted to know about.
