You can still opt out by not visiting the site, which I encourage everyone to try.

I also encourage people to repost content from Reddit to Lemmy. It’s free estate!

It’s also morally and ethically sound.

The solution is simple: opt out of Reddit entirely.

I mean yes but reddit actively advertised in Germany recently, and… Well we have some of the most serious privacy laws.

According to the article it doesn’t apply to all users, presumably the EU is exempt from this change in policy (because it’s illegal)

I already got permabanned from reddit for saying “cunt” so fuck that cunt website. I used to lament how terrible it was becoming but, now that I’ve removed myself from it, I’m just watching it crash and burn and enjoying every bit of it.

Soon the website will only be bots and shills and a few people who never say anything even slightly aggressive/controversial/opinionated/crass. A boring, sterile shell of its former self— just a safe space for advertisements.

Eat shit and die reddit!

Mark my words, where one tech bro goes, the others always follow. This is not a good sign.
