Anyone here use reddit as well? What’s your favourite Reddit app? Been trying to find a nice open source iOS app (I know - apple - but I don’t want to throw out something that still works).
@jenn Reddit feeds Amazon b/c it runs on AWS. So using reddit at all feeds a #privacy adversary. It may be hard to ditch #reddit altogether, but a phone app seems like an addiction-feeding way to give too much attention to Reddit & power to Amazon. If you limit yourself to using reddit on the desktop, it can help cut back on it. For the desktop, there is Simple Reddit terminal Viewer ("RTV") which is #freesoftware.
@resist1984 I’m pretty decent at regulating my phone use, but I am conscious of the possible reddit time waste. As for AWS, I don’t get as far as avoiding sites served by AWS or google. Props to those who find a way to do that, but I just take the trade off because SO many things are on those servers.
@jenn i should also mention there is a browser extension called "Cloud Firewall" that gives you switches to block google, amazon, facebook, MS, Apple, CloudFlare.. you just tick the things you want to block. you can always unblock but it's a convenient way to become aware of the problem sites. You might still opt to visit a problem site but perhaps refrain from referring others to those
