I had ChatGPT write a script that hides Reddit posts with images so I wouldn't be drawn in by the feed. Over the past week or so I got sucked into Reddit, so I have this script running now with Violent Monkey. Now I can use Reddit as a way to read about thigs without worring about getting sucked in with reels. It would be nice if I could just ignore reels, but I am like a monkey trying to avoid dangling fruit.
Below is the script I'm using. If you end up using it just beware that Reddit changes their site often so there's no telling how long it will work.
// ==UserScript==
// @name Reddit Text Only
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 1.2
// @description Hide Reddit images, videos, and media posts while keeping icons
// @match https://www.reddit.com/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function () {
'use strict';
// Hide media elements but keep subreddit/user icons
const style = document.createElement('style');
style.textContent = `
/* Hide actual post media */
shreddit-post video,
shreddit-post media-lightbox,
shreddit-post gallery-carousel,
shreddit-post [slot="post-media-container"],
shreddit-post img:not(.shreddit-subreddit-icon__icon) {
display: none !important;
}
`;
document.head.appendChild(style);
function hideMediaPosts() {
document.querySelectorAll('shreddit-post').forEach(post => {
const hasMedia =
post.querySelector('video') ||
post.querySelector('media-lightbox') ||
post.querySelector('gallery-carousel') ||
post.querySelector('[slot="post-media-container"]') ||
[...post.querySelectorAll('img')].some(img =>
!img.classList.contains('shreddit-subreddit-icon__icon')
);
if (hasMedia) {
post.style.display = 'none';
}
});
}
// Run when page loads
hideMediaPosts();
// Run when Reddit loads more posts while scrolling
const observer = new MutationObserver(() => {
hideMediaPosts();
});
observer.observe(document.body, {
childList: true,
subtree: true
});
})();

#blaugust-2026
I'm looking forward to Blaugust starting up this year. Last year, if you participated, you might have seen me as Fluid Lines Media. This year, I'm starting over. The old site is gone, along with all its data. This will be a fresh start.
I took a long break from most technology after Blaugust 2025. It has been a huge goal of mine to limit screens in my life for many years. I'm not against screens in general; I just have a tendency to overconsume content, and with the way the modern internet is, it got worse and worse over time. I don't have a smartphone anymore for that reason, and my only computer is a desktop.
Life has been great since I slowed down, started relying on pencil and paper more, and learned how to spend more time in the moment, but I've reached a point where removing more is unhelpful. My current goal is finding a balance that will work long term. I'm hoping Blaugust will help me find that balance.
Blaugust wasn't on my radar this year. But I happened to build a new website and stumbled upon it while trying to catch up on blogs I hadn't read in a while. I was saddened to learn of Belghast's passing. While I only knew of him since last August, I feel he made a bigger impact on my life than most. He was clearly a cornerstone of a wholesome side of the net. I was on the fence about doing Blaugust this year, but I feel it's important to help carry the torch in his memory. I also believe it will help me find myself like it did last year, and hopefully many others can find meaning like I did.

#theme-choices
Added a dark and light theme toggle in the upper right and a low/high contrast toggle in the upper left of the site. While I had thought to leave this site with no scripts, I did add a tiny one so that theme choice would be remembered. It's super tiny and in the end I opted for greater accessibility, especially since that script is super small.

#test
This was my first go at uploading to Neocities with a Command Line Interface. It was tough but i got it. I'm planning to delete my browser and needed a way to keep up with the site. I'll be using a text-only terminal browser. Wish me luck!

#gemini-protocol
I just learned about the Gemini Protocol. Completely unrelated to Google's Gemini AI. It's the interent but seperate from the World Wide Web. I'll be working on building a site there since it is text based and that is interesting to me

#flip-phone
Let's talk about the flip phone in the room. It's mine and it's not smart, but it may be the smartest choice I've made. I've witnessed others able to have a smartphone and not let it control them. That's not me. This time last year I was deleting apps from my iPhone daily until I hit my comfortable limit. 5 Apps. My smartphone was dumber than my current basic flip. After keeping it that way for 6 months or more, I started thinking about flip phones more seriously. The one I got is a Sunbeam Wireless Swan. It can text and call, has a calendar and calculator and not much else. I can't put music on it or take pictures. I can't even send or receive pictures. It's fairly obvious why I went this route. I wanted my time back and I got tired of being showing every crisis in the world and every advertisement. It took years for me to get to this point, constantly looking for ways to limit my screen time. Now that I'm here, I plan to stay. No more smartphones for me.

#about-me
I'm Remy. I made this site because I'm tired of mainstream social media and the corporate web in general. The bulk of my free time is spent writing, reading, or tinkering with Linux. My phone is an old school flip and I only read physical books. I live a minimalist lifestyle, but that looks different for everybody.
There's no telling what will end up on here, but I'm sure I will end up talking about some of the things in the previous paragraph.
