I know its easier than ever to dunk on how terrible reddit has gotten, but honestly? What is this? How is is safer to deliver this content to kids viewing reddit on a tablet or PC or in the app? Why even create the bs excuse?
They could just have easily told the truth an displayed a message like “Content is limited. Open in the app to view.” It’s still a jerk move, but at a minimum its honest.
Check out redlib. It’s a fork of Libreddit that doesn’t get ratelimited.
The instance I use: https://lr.vern.cc/
If anything happens to that, not only will it probably be forked, but there’s also kddit and Eddrit, as well as a couple of old Libreddit instances that Reddit forgot about.
