Yea. When I first glanced at the post title I was wondering how and why would you read reddit on a text editor. I mean I guess I would if I could read it in vim but not necessarily in gedit.
I personally still use a patched version of Sync for reddit with my own API key. Interestingly nothing changed over time. I still have nsfw access and don't pay anything. Wonder what's up there but as long as that works I'm fine.
