Libreddit was killed? How am I still using it?
From their Github
⚠️Why do I get TOO MANY REQUESTS errors? ⚠️ As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here. One of the project maintainers is working towards keeping this project alive to some extent: #836
Some instances might still be operational, but limited…
I deleted my Reddit accounts, once Infinity stopped working, and I open reddit links in Tor ( same with Tiktok and others ), they’re not gonna have it their way
Hmm, well my personal instance works fine and has for months, no limitations that I’ve encountered. Guess I’m just lucky
Yea you’re, I tried some instances they work for a while and then they give that message : too many requests
what happened to Reddit is just disgusting, they broke the law and they’re roaming free…
I wonder if it impacts public instances because it’s rate-limiting the requests, where it’s just me on my private instance so it’s not hitting the limit.
If so then it’s pretty easy to spin one up in docker and get around the issue.
Of course leaving reddit entirely is always better.
Also I’m not tuned in – what laws did they break?
Maybe, but I don’t wanna try anymore, you could patch Infinity with Revanced patches and keep using it too, but I dont wanna do that either…
Yeah, I gave up…
I think it’s called CCPA ( a US data law ), Reddit violated that law, when they restored users’ content, im guessing this law guarantees the right to be erased… ( US data laws sound good on paper, but they never work in reality 😂 )
Also they can’t just go to their terms of service and change stuff based on the situation, they even tried to stretch the meaning of some clauses in their TOS just so they can cover it up, it’s all in r/announcements, just scroll back to June 2023
