Is javascript always bad?
Good or bad depends on the intentions of the website you're visiting, and unfortunately also of the many 3rd party script sources it includes. Users should have a chance to decide which sites they trust to run JavaScript and which they do not, and this is the reason why 18 years ago I've created NoScript, and why it is still there and shipped by default inside the Tor Browser.

PSA: We're all ripe for phishing attempts while looking for Reddit alternatives
Use a different name, password, and email if you can. Keep an adblocker and noscript handy. Don't accept cookies from new sites. Maybe even use the TOR browser for better anonymity and safety while you're giving these new platforms a test run.

Ask HN: Browsing the web with JavaScript turned off?
I do (with the NoScript browser extension: https://noscript.net/). The main reason is to reduce my attack surface. A secondary benefit is it eliminates most ads and other annoying distractions.

GitHub Stars as a FOSS Metrics? 🤔
I'll give an example of NoScript which is a great project that you should be using. Most people download the extension directly though their browser. Firefox shows 317,244 active users and Chromium shows 100,000+ users. Some people know of the website. Less people know of the GitHub project the NoScript Common Library (nscl). NoScript has 645 stars and nscl has 15 stars. 417,244+ active users and only 660 stars. If you use the project and you have a GitHub account, give it some love with some stars!
