Fantastic. Another lockdown on privacy.

This isn’t really a privacy change. They can track the same on either version. If they make you log in to view anything, that would be a shame. It’s not hard to create a shadowbanned account.

I use [Redlib.catsarch.com](http://Redlib.catsarch.com). Hopefully they don’t break that.

The less Reddit the better imo.
