I was browsing a gaming sub earlier when I noticed that the outgoing links redirected through out.reddit.com. I checked a few other subs and it appears to be site-wide at this point.
I don't really stay up-to-date on happenings but figured this was old enough to probably warrant mentioning again.
There is a few workarounds if you still value your privacy on that site.
Add these to your filters in uBlock Origin
events.redditmedia.com
out.reddit.com
And just to be certain, add this script to GreaseMonkey
// ==UserScript==
// @name Fuck Reddit
// @description Probably removes Reddit spying
// @match *://*.reddit.com/*
// @run-at document-end
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
"use strict";
$(".outbound").attr("data-outbound-url", null);
$(".outbound").attr("data-href-url", null);
$(".outbound").removeClass("outbound");
})();
Alternatively clean your ref links in Firefox in about:config and use the Smart Referrer plugin.

They also allow links to facebook videos. I clicked on a vid the other day and realized they could now connect my fb account to my reddit account. I nuked the profile.
