I deleted my Reddit account but still follow some writers on it and had the same issue. The worst part is it’s anything marked as NSFW – even posts that were tagged as a joke weren’t accessible.

I changed my VPN to another country and Reddit was still asking me to log in and show ID until I cleared my cookies and cache.

Isn’t census data used to determine availability and funding for social programs?

So the options are “disclosed personal information the government has no business knowing.” or “cause services important to your [group] to be underfunded/cut”.

Lose/lose.

I drove through miles of a literal swarm of cicadas a few years ago and 99% of them didn’t splat on the windshield. My roof rack was coated with bug guts, though.
