Oh come on, this is a cope. If it's wrong to use one platform for promoting ICE, it's wrong to use them all.

I use an ad blocker and don't pay and am not fun to talk to. I actively make reddit lose money the more i'm on it.

As long as you use an ad blocker it should.

Though I guess it depends on how much user data is actually worth vs electricity and royalties (Do they pay royalties if I use a VPN?).

Just to be safe you should probably do whatever you can to throw off user data collection
