I've heard a few people say that they don't use reddit apps anymore and only access reddit via old.reddit. Could someone explain to me how that resolves the "morality issue"? Isn't that still traffic and aren't they still getting money? Is it less money somehow?

I don’t think there’s necessarily a “morality issue” with accessing Reddit.

Old Reddit has far less tracking and there’s still a trove of UGC on Reddit that even if the fediverse picks up steam, will still be important for a lot of time to come.

The morality issue here really is one piece of shit giving himself the authority to dictate so much knowledge. In some ways I see this as a modern book burning shit Spez is doing.

If you need access to Reddit, minimizing how much tracking and ads they can show you goes a long way of destroying that company.
