Maybe, but I don't wanna try anymore, you could patch Infinity with Revanced patches and keep using it too, but I dont wanna do that either...

Of course leaving reddit entirely is always better.

Yeah, I gave up..

what laws did they break?

I think it's called CCPA ( a US data law ), Reddit violated that law, when they restored users' content, im guessing this law guarantees the right to be erased... ( US data laws sound good on paper, but they never work in reality ๐Ÿ˜‚ )

Also they can't just go to their terms of service and change stuff based on the situation, they even tried to stretch the meaning of some clauses in their TOS just so they can cover it up, it's all in r/announcements, just scroll back to June 2023
