Same here. I actually went a step further and decided to browse the site permanently logged off. I do not wanna access my old account anymore (which I still didn’t delete).

This is what I do. Also, I mostly access reddit from a RSS feed so I don’t even really visit the site much. I read everything I want in my feed reader, and maybe look at the comments on the site if a particular post looks interesting. Never logged in, never comment, never vote on a post.

I’m still glad Reddit actually lets you browse their site logged off.

That’s something that Twitter-I mean X doesn’t do anymore.
