Oh yeah, here’s Some More News on that.

We need you Lina Khan. We need you, but stronger, faster, better. Let’s fucking go.

Damn…this looks really good actually. I’m sad to day I never heard of cohost until now. But I’ll admit I just identify with the founder’s sentiments around the tech industry, and their strict adherence to moral values around how a platform like that should interact with their users. I wish their developers all the best in looking for new work.

Workplace politics, the surgeon is likely an asshole who shoves shit down the throat of anyone who disagrees with him.

Advertisers and AI bots have taken over reddit ever since Google made them the new SEO technique.

Well fuck you and your co² farting anus, Brian Niccol!

Lol. 🤣 This genuinely had me lmao. Thank you.

I’ll second this request. I prefer to get software through FDroid when possible. I use Stealth in combo with Libreddit currently, but this has a nice UI.

Can you recommend me more than a few hardcore leftist content creators exclusively releasing content on Odyssee?

This. Google is pushing MV3 to single out and neuter the more robust and customizable ad blockers, like uBO. They’re trying to appease their advertising investors by force feeding ads to you and they’re plugging the leaks/workarounds savvy developers have created to block them.

If Firefox ever gets popular enough, what do you wanna bet money bags Google, their primary monetary contributor, will put a condition on the next round of funding that they stop support for MV2?

Stay small and crazy customizable Firefox.

Yeah, I do wish they incorporated nitter as well, but otherwise it’s got every privacy respecting frontend and has a lot of public instances in their default listings. One of the best extensions I’ve come across.

Honestly, reddit’s search engine is okay, but yeah it doesn’t get as exact as standard search engines because I think it prioritizes keywords from the post title over comments and also prioritizes most recent posts over subject relevance. That said, the old reddit posts are still going to be accessible via standard not google search engines.

I’ll admit this is somewhat of a bandaid fix, as should reddit keep this deal with google going, eventually this workaround will prove less effective than it currently is.

This workaround just gets you the newest posts related to your query, and otherwise, for older posts, the search term reddit in search engines is still superior. So I don’t know, it’s the best solution I can think of for now.

I’ve posted this elsewhere, but it bears repeating:

Just use ddg bangs if you use Duckduckgo and you can search reddit directly.

!reddit search term

or:

!r search term

It still picks up latest posts related to reddit, it just searches reddit directly instead of searching Bing’s results. It’s that simple.

You can even use a redirect extension like Libredirect in conjunction with this Duckduckgo feature to redirect your search to a privacy respecting frontend like redlib.

It gets crazy when you use a redirection extension like libredirect. If you tell libredirect to redirect to a redlib instance, the !r or !reddit bang will try to send your query directly to reddit, and then instead you’re presented with the search results on a no JavaScript frontend. This is what I do, a lot less clutter than reddit’s site.

Just use ddg bangs if you use Duckduckgo and you can search reddit directly.

!reddit search term

Even better. Thanks, been a while since I’ve looked up specific ddg bangs.

Just use ddg bangs if you use Duckduckgo and you can search reddit directly.

!reddit search term

Well that’s annoying. One work around is to use a redirect extension like Libredirect and you can still search via the !reddit bang on DuckDuckGo. Thusly if I type into my search bar which has DuckDuckGo as default:

!reddit some new post or topic, it will search reddit for the search term, then when it attempts to load the reddit page, the libredirect extension will redirect and show the results.

Requires a bit of configuring and sure is annoying, but hey, no Google search necessary to get the up to date reddit threads.

Sounds like the intial pitch probably went something like this, except they weren’t realistic about the timeline.

God bless the uBlock devs.
