I don't care what scabs stay if there are no changes to the reddit API policy. Why would you ever pay for something in a subscription model without getting full access to all the content? You lose all/anything labeled NSFW content, doesn't matter if it's spoilers, combat footage, or porn.

I've only gone on to reddit recently for certain health related matters/ ultra niche subs with a revanced app (took a bit to get set up) or through old reddit with RES, an adblocker, and strict tracking blocking (seriously, reddit tracks you like crazy. It's ultra creepy.).

Otherwise, lemmy is new home and it is best to forget the old world and let them/those ways fail.
