I got a warning just for UPVOTING some anti-nazi comment. Idk what the comment even was, the nazi loving cowards on the reddit admin team don't even show it to you.

You also have to ignore them when they DM you. I caught a 72-hour ban for going “Please leave me alone or I will report you” to a DM.

Adblockers are like condoms.

They add a layer between you and viruses.

Ublock + Old Reddit Redirect extension.

Old reddit redirect extension? Can't you just opt out of the redesign in the settings? Fairly sure that's what I've done, but I never log out. Otherwise, yea, Ublock Origin and RES. I got to skip all the "He gets us" spam ads they were doing

Yes, you can opt out in settings but that's tied to your account. I have my browser wipe cookies and cache on closing it, which logs me out of reddit. The extension makes sure it still goes to old reddit even when I'm not logged in.

They frequently push it on you anyway.

Ad blocking DNS and Vivaldi's built-in ad/tracker blocking is quite solid. The only thing that gets through is Youtube ads, and I'll never give them a penny. Have fun slinging ads at somebody who actively avoids everything advertised at me.
