  • reddio

  • 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.
