Ask HN: Why isn't HN libre/FOSS?
Slashdot, reddit, and HN are similar in that the source code was available. For HN, as part of arc under the Artistic license. All 3 abandoned public source code releases.

Karma, votes, and diminishing returns
While it would likely have zero overlap with the code in use today if you look at the old code Reddit used to publish for voting the model at that point used to have flags/checks for :

[reddit self-host] Thrift issues?
I've been trying to host my own instance of Reddit from archived source code on GitHub. Even though I am aware that's probably not a good idea since many dependencies are broken and there's practically no documentation on anything (and it's really old legacy code), but I still decided to give it a shot.

Does anyone else just feel sad about all of this?

Delv guy here: Sharing the mockup
Automod to act based on keywords/domains/etc., ideally using the same language/flags/regex/etc. of the original automod (old code) so that it's possible to use existing code. (For detecting off-topic posts, enforcing a title format, reminding the users to add missing details to post, filtering profanity, shadowbanning spammers, etc.)

Rings.social – Reddit-API compatible and Open Source content-voting platform
Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started

How would you work effectively with an extremely slow 56Kbps connection?
https://gitlab.com/aaronNG/reddio looks like it might be a decent, maintained alternative.

Does toycat have a discord server?
For websites, I use an extension called LibreJS to block nonfree JavaScript. It seems that most sites work without nonfree JavaScript, though sometimes you have to explicitly block the site in LibreJS to force noscript tags to appear. It's hard to say for sure how many sites require nonfree JavaScript though, as since I don't tend to re-visit sites that require it, all the sites I regularly use work without nonfree nontrivial JavaScript. Often LibreJS doesn't detect free scripts as free so I have to mark them myself, but on most sites I don't need to do this (On Reddit specifically, there's one script that LibreJS marks as nontrivial, $(this).parent().submit(), but I consider that trivial myself because it's so short. I also use Reddit Enhancement Suite which might make some things work better too. Occasionally the site breaks for some reason, in which case I use reddio (git clone the URL to avoid JavaScript).). I also use an extension called LibRedirect which redirects some sites that require JavaScript to some that don't. For email I still use Google from before I was avoiding nonfree software, but I connect using a free software IMAP client.

reddit's python
I'm on my phone right now, so I'm using Slide (a 3-rd party reddit client), but on PC I usually use reddio.

One teacher called her in tears. “She said it: ‘I can’t even let them read ‘The Diary of Anne Frank.’”
Technically speaking, this may be true, but most of the scripts I have enabled are trivial scripts. The only whitelisted script (on this page) I have currently is $(this).parent().submit() (needed for submitting comments). I think triviality is subjective to some extent, and I consider that whitelisted script trivial. I also use Reddit Enhancement Suite and I think that might help with some things that would otherwise require nonfree JavaScript. For some reason, old.reddit sometimes doesn't let me interact (expand comments, post comments, upvote, join the subreddit), and I'm not sure why it sometimes doesn't work (seems to break more often on posts than permalinks to comments or subreddit pages), but in those cases I can use reddio (git clone that link to avoid GitLab's JS).

Why open source still uses reddit even it's a closed source platform
My understanding is that the Reddit client used to be free, but it isn't anymore. I think there is no way to create an account on Reddit using free software today, but you can post/comment using reddio (git clone it to avoid nonfree JS) or sometimes using RES + LibreJS and whitelisting a few simple scripts (e.g. $(this).parent().submit() at the simplest). Given that it is possible to use Reddit with free software if you already have an account, I think it is okay to keep using it. It would be good if someone added account registration functionality to reddio though, so that more people could participate.
