The best way to protest against reddit is simply to not interact with Reddit (kbin.social)

I see a lot of posts about how they uploaded anti-spez stuff onto reddit, or participated in the nsfw spams/john oliver spams. While I get wanting to let it all out, this ultimately keeps up engagement on reddit rather than bringing it down.

The best way to make sure things go your way? Vote with your wallet, or in this case your voice. Don't speak on reddit. Devote more time helping out the alternatives grow and flourish. And as much as it is a meme, touching some grass can help your mental fortitude.

If you absolutely 100% need to interact with reddit, I suggest installing a redirector addon (such as privacy redirect or... redirector) that can link to a teddit or libreddit instance. Or archiving it with wayback/archive.is/ghostarchive.

My interactions have been limited to 1-2 minutes to get some key pieces of info about my account (most recently, my client ID and secret so I can nuke my comments once I get my GDPR takeout). Teddit is a great way to view things without giving Reddit traffic.

My ArchiveTeam warrior instance has been going hard backing up Reddit for weeks now, however ;) I'm at 50+ gigs and 500K items backed up. A drop in the bucket compared to some of the folks listed on the leaderboard, but it feels nice to be doing my part. http://tracker.archiveteam.org/reddit/

Power Delete Suite should still work after they've taken the API down. It mimics you manually deleting the comments yourself.

Is power delete suite subject to the 1000 API request limit? I know Shreddit can work past that limit if you have your GDPR takeout.
