I use a a chrome extension for it. Otherwise when I hit their wall on another device or browser, I just skip it. Reddit seems fine with killing themselves off, I'm not going to any great length to mitigate their mistakes.
You can run your own DNS server locally. I run an unbound server on my router but you can also run dnsmasq on a raspberry pi or something. Pihole uses that. Then you can do whatever you want with local DNS (doesn't help with devices like Chromecast that ignore your local configs, for that you need your own router, which I also recommend. I use pfsense).
You'll need a local webserver running to serve the redirect, but that's a simple nginx config. Maybe I'll write a blog post for this stuff...
You don’t have to login either iirc. If you don’t want to use old Reddit, there is an option to open in the browser anyway. At least for me on iOS + Firefox.
I can't foretell the future, but it is important to realize that
ChatGPT is not artificial intelligence. It has no intelligence;
it doesn't know anything and doesn't understand anything.
It plays games with words to make plausible-sounding English text,
but any statements made in it are liable to be false.
It can't avoid that because it doesn't know what the words _mean_.
