So recently, Reddit started blocking people going on the site unauthenticated. I still end up regularly on Reddit when I’m web searching, but it’s looks like those days are thoroughly over.

I guess I’ll make a PSA on the privacy@programming.dev comm, but you can still browse old.reddit using Tor Browser in the “Safest” security setting (aka Javascript disabled).

  Huh, how does that work? I already have JS disabled by default and I use a browser extension to redirect me to old.reddit. Does Reddit serve a special site specifically for Tor users?

    They do have an onion link actually, so it does seem like they have some special infrastructure for Tor that might have dodged the login wall

    That’s kinda surprising actually, it seems so diametrically opposed to everything that Reddit is doing.

  Does it depend on the exit node’s location? It sounds like the logon prompt is being rolled out on a regional basis.

    I’ve never seen the logon prompt in Safest mode, but sometimes I’ll be rate limited and have to change exits.
