The last time I checked was a couple months ago, and you couldn’t access it without logging in, or if your account is banned. (And, as far as I know, they’re still permabanning accounts at random in massive waves.) So, unless that’s all changed, you can’t.

Only way I can look stuff up on there now is with an app called RDX for Reddit.

    There is a blatant AI post going around of a MAGA dad standing in front of a bathroom and refusing to let a caricature of a trans person in, so he can “protect his daughter”. It is very obviously AI, people in the background have melting faces, and a baby stroller is levitating off the ground with extra wheels.

    Nevertheless, conservatives are rallying behind this “brave father” who doesn’t exist, praising him for keeping out the “trans person”, who also doesn’t exist.

    When it is pointed out to them that the photo is AI generated and that none of it actually happened, I’ve seen several make the argument that since they believed it is real, that’s enough proof that it did happen.

    So, we’re at a point now where making up a story and clearly lying is somehow evidence in and of itself.

    I’m so confused by how Reddit is being moderated now. I had someone follow me to various subreddits, responding to every comment I made with a particular anti trans slur, (the one that rhymes with “moon”, not sure if I’m allowed to say it here) and a demand that I join the “41 percent” (which basically means “kill yourself.”) I reported their account, just once, and it was the first time I’d ever reported anyone. A few hours later, I was permanently banned for “abusing the report button”. I tried making another account and was instantly banned. The accounts of other people in my household have also been permanently banned, which is the most confusing part of all of it.

    The account that was harassing me is still up as far as I’m aware. So, apparently it’s fine to call people slurs and tell them to die, but they’re not allowed to complain about it.

    So, I’m new to this place. I was told it was better.
