With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready? (piefed.social)

With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.

What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Well they blocked every account associated with my IP, so I'm not doing that either.

Are there any third-party reddit readers that circumvent this? Or did their API shenanigans block that, too?

Look up Redlib

I hadn't really tried to be honest, just using my old account until they start asking for age verification, then I'd look at other solutions.

I use RedReader without an account, connected through a VPN. It's FOSS, but with these settings, it's really slow. Okay for text and images, bad for videos.
