Kloak is the answer my friend. It kinda looks like your computer is lagging, but its very well made.

For anyone wondering there are mechanisms for weakening this, e.g. https://github.com/vmonaco/kloak. I believe Whonix includes this by default.

Other than that for getting best privacy i recommend using any browser with kloak running in the background, it takes a second to compile with no dependency needed, and confuses fingerprinting scripts on websites.

If you have javascript enabled in the browser, websites can identify you relatively uniquely based on your behavior. The most common is probably keyboard finger stroke behavior. But users can defeat this by using Kloak (source code is here), which adds a random lag after each keystroke.

Any distro you like+Tor browser+Kloak

Is it possible to download some software or extension to prevent deanonymization by checking typing speed? I know there's some extensions that may help, but most of these actually modify the DOM + Event prototype in JavaScript, so it heavily modifies your fingerprint. There is Kloak (github.com/vmonaco/kloak), which actually works on the application level, so there is no JavaScript fingerprint. However, these kinds of applications require root access (via sudo), so it compromises Tails' built-in security by forcing the root password to be active.

For Reddit alternatives, it looks like https://saidit.net/ (https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) and https://phuks.co/ (https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat) could be viable alternatives. They're open source, have the UX features we desire (threaded, voting, sorting, collapsing).

And while the content of the site is kind of... well, despicable and kinda fucked up, this project: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit has made tons of fixes and improvements to the code itself going forward, so there's one source of fixes/improvements to draw from, as well as a few other active forks.

In fact one site I found a repo for has done so and has made many fixes/improvements to that code -> https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

One codebase that could probably work is this one: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit but there are others out there.

Why not point Apollo at a Reddit alternative, or use the open-source code for Reddit (or code like this https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) instead of shutting it down?

If Apollo's users (or a good percentage of them) moved over to an alternative platform, that would be poetic justice, at least.

saidit went down this path, and it was indeed a nightmare. what reddit had posted publicly was unusable and misleading, effectively token open source. if anyone is brave enough to try, they should check for fixes here: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

People have even forked reddit already (don't know much about that site) : https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit
