A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Damn now this is just next level bullshit. I thought that even if I can't use Infinity anymore I can still access reddit through a firefox mobile with adblock and privacy addons to make the ux somewhat bearable.
So..
You can spoof the user-agent, it's a PITA but not that hard. I did it to use chat gpt with bing, but didn't bother for Reddit
I recommend libreddit, no commenting and it's slower, but at least it works on mobile
Unfamiliar with the way libreddit retrieves its data. If it's supposed to work after API BS, I'm guessing good ol' scraping?
It uses the API. They're discussing what to do next, probably "wait and see" for now https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/785
