Pro-tip: use a libreddit mirror when linking to a Reddit thread (self.reddit)

Use a libreddit mirror like https://reddit.adminforge.de to link to Reddit threads so that Reddit gets 0 traffic and 0 ad revenue from us opening the thread.

For example, if the Reddit link is:

https://old.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/

Then you simply have to replace old.reddit.com by reddit.adminforge.de so that the link becomes:

https://reddit.adminforge.de/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/

you are viewing a single comment's thread

There is a plugin for Firefox and Chromium that has redirects for several big sites.

Is there a way to make this work on Android? I've downloaded the xpi and when I try to open it, it says I have no compatible apps. [Might make more sense when I've gotten some sleep, lol.]

No. Need to do it the hard way with individual sites.

Couldn't one set up some kind of gate on raspberry pi on local wifi that would redirect matching traffic automatically ?

I want to middleman attack myself apparently
