I could have believed that Twitter and Reddit might have been okay with alternate third-party platform-native clients, but not third-party Web frontends.
It isn’t so much a front end as a privacy-enhancing proxy service. You can’t participate, you can only consume.

Or we need our states to stop neglecting our need for online infrastructure and punting to capital interests.
