- Reddit blocks VPNs. Reddit also now blocks old.reddit unless you log in. But apparently reddit offers a Tor service? And old.reddit still works fine there? (At this point I only check one subreddit, itself a shadow of its former self.) 3 Aug 2026

Beliefs
Korrents 2 changes of mind Nothing they currently believe is recorded here — only positions they have since dropped.
Each was a — compiled by korrents.com, a word-for-word quote linked to where it was said.
What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
