Hello.

My quesiton is the one in the title. When I use Reddit I use it without enabling JavaScript and I have noticed that it works partially. I can browse and register, but I can't post. Is there a way to post without using Reddit's proprietary JavaScript?.

Thanks in advance.

>AFAIK the JS is free, just not compliant with LibreJS.

I'm not sure. I checked the HTML source code and found no Copyright notice. I did not check Reddit's source code. In any case, I know that it calls Google's JavaScript which is almost surely non-free (I used to enable JS for Reddit).

In any case, do you know if is there a way to make posting work properly, or at least work around it without enabling JavaScript?.

Maybe this (I didn't read the content yet): https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/4f2yiv/how_to_post_to_reddit_without_javascript_enabled/

The Decentraleyes options looks good, but it's time-consuming.

At a glance, RTV seems like a workable option but I have yet to download and try to use it. Thanks hack and hack.

You're welcome :)

Please let us know if it works for you, I'm interested as well. The other annoying part for me is not being able to see the folded comments.

I will let you (generic "you") know if RTV works. I'm planning to try it in a Debian 8 virtual machine (but I don't guarantee it). As a good practice, I run small single-author programs like this in a virtual machine to protect from security flaws and intentionally malicious code.

As for reading folded comments, I found a workaround: Select the link "See more comments", see the source code for the selection, and then copy and paste the anchor into the address bar.
