I am discussing this with other GNU people and I got some clarification from RMS which pages are considered harmful and which are not. In particular, someone pointed that *old*.reddit.com pages can actually be viewed without JS. They still try to load non-free JS, but do not become dysfunctional (you can still read posts and comments in full, even from M-x eww). RMS told me that as long as pages can be viewed and otherwise used for their intended purpose without non-free JS, it is OK to links to such pages. So, for reddit specifically, we can simply transform them prepending "old.". I suspect that we might even get away with gist.github.com as long as we do not care about comments to the gist. Also, for github issues, I suspect that we can instead point to the author email. Most of the uses are *also* listing the main github page, so link to issues is really redundant there. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
