    Okay, out of joke, could someone with Reddit account explain to this person what is a proxy and what is a frontend?

    Then, to explain what is Teddit too.

        Nice educative write up ! Thanks ! The only thing is that I don’t agree teddit or libreedit copy stuff. That might become misleading. If they would literally copy content, then they would be able to keep it, but that’s not true. By being frontends, they can only offer content in reddit. Whatever is removed, limited or censored on reddit keeps being the same on the different frontends. Different frontends to the same content just offer a different way to look at that content, it just so happens teddit and libreedit focus is more privacy…

        BTW, I didn’t know teddit was about oldreddit, and libreedit was about modern reddit. Teddit looks more polished to me, and have the advantage of being able to export and import the local subscriptions, so I can set subscriptions in one machine and port them to another, which I don’t see available on libreedit. Perhaps teddit has just more time being available, :) But what you mentioned is news to me, hehe
