Piracy is not immoral, but if it's too widespread it can destroy opportunities for people creating things to get paid for creating things, and so they may not be able to continue doing so. And that just makes the world worse.
Try to find a way to support the people that make stuff that you love. For example I won't pirate music from small bands, I only pirate games if they have onerous DRM or something (never indie games), and I'll only pirate books if they're ridiculously overpriced and I can't get a standalone DRM free version.
Just cos you're a pirate doesn't mean you can't have morals.
Sorry I didn't explain that very well. I don't think there is a desktop client that supports switching between multiple accounts, but as I say you can sort of achieve the same goal by using Firefox containers. Each container has separate cookies so if you have one container for each account you can just switch container to switch account.
I know that's not quite what you're asking for, but I'm not sure what you're asking for is possible.
Awesome thank you, definitely a few there that I could make use of!
What do they do?
Firefox containers? (that’s what I did to manage my alts on Reddit)
There’s so much bindweed and ivy coming from the neighbour’s gardens choking everything, and it’s just about as much as I can manage just to keep that under control so it’s a bit of a mess atm.
However I’ve kept a little patch in the middle of the garden unmowed (for the bees) and that’s got all sorts growing in it now and looks pretty nice.
Didn’t IBM create the punchcard machines the nazis used to catalogue Jews? Genocide counts, right?
It’s fairly reasonable to assume advertisers are leaving. This isn’t one of those controversies that has two sides, it’s just Reddit being shitty because they want to make more money, and mods, users and disabled people on the other side being annoyed with Reddit.
There’s very little for advertisers to lose by redirecting their ad budget elsewhere, but if they stick around there’s a risk that annoyance spills over to them.
It also doesn’t take much for marketing teams to make a change - they do it all the time to stay on the right side of controversies and avoid things they don’t want to be associated with.
Yeah all that information disappearing is a huge disappointment.
But realistically while Reddit Inc own that data it was always going to happen eventually. If it wasn't the demand from LLMs pushing them to lock it away so they can monetise it, it'd have been a move like Twitter blocking non logged in users, or just them purging old data to save money or something.
I haven’t seen any beans, just a handful of people complaining about them. Perhaps unsubscribe from the meme communities for a bit if it’s a problem?
