LemmyStartNowis using old.reddit.com okay to use
ExcrubulentRestricting your access to the site is a form of individual consumer activism, and I don’t think that ever really makes a difference.
The thing that will kill reddit is their enshittification leading to an exodus of content creators and the subsequent exodus of casual users.
The tiny influx of traffic you give them when you look something up occasionally isn’t going to make any difference. You may as well lower hay bales off the boat deck of the Lusitania. Yes it will reduce its weight but it’s still been hit by a torpedo. It’s going down, don’t flstress about it.
I hope all the useful posts will be archived somewhere and accessible later. That’s perhaps the best outcome we can hope for.
use the onion site. I’m half expecting them to take it down once they remember it exists but the tor browser is a good way to claw your privacy back if you don’t log in.
When I talk about an archive I mean one that isn’t in their power, like the wayback machine. I’m not going to start using onion sites just for an embargo that I believe is irrelevant and ineffective.
