Don't log into an account.

Browse the Internet like normal.

If x.com or reddit.com won't let you view without privacy, they're dead and useless.

Have some spine; lead, and stop following and being led by evil people and companies.

    Google are becoming increasingly hostile, sometimes not age-restricted content will show the same if it flags your IP etc. and then login doesn’t even work, with multifactor errors if again IP limited or flagged you don’t even get your MFA options, passkey prompt not appearing etc all of it I presume in service of bot protection but definitely also ad and app blocking

    Tumblr and Pinterest are on life support.

    Insta and reddit still have enough inertia.

    If they don't make you log in, they lose sigint.

    IF they do make you log in, they burn activity and users

    Reddit will eventually fizzle out, Just another in a long chain of bad ideas trading short gains over long life.

    XCancel and redlib will let you browse both without an account, and while cutting out most of their ad revenue as well (bots/marketing accounts notwithstanding of course)

    Firefox extensions:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/redlib/

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/xcancel/

    Redlib is also much easier to use on mobile than old reddit, but posts are rate limited to every 12 hours or something. So it actually helps stop you from doom scrolling a bit too.
