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.

I haven't been on Reddit since the blackout started, and at this point, I have no intention of ever being on Reddit again. And it's been good for me, to be honest. Been reading an actual book again, for the first time in longer than I'd like, been going for walks when I'm bored instead of mindlessly scrolling.

So can confirm - go touch grass, go to your local library! It's good for you, and bad for Reddit. Win-win!
