# Reddit Fetching Skill

When encountering a Reddit URL (e.g., `https://www.reddit.com/...` or `https://reddit.com/...`):

1.  Always attempt to use the "old" version of Reddit by replacing `reddit.com` with `old.reddit.com`.
2.  Use `fetch_url` (or a similar tool) to retrieve the content from the modified URL.
3.  If you are blocked, encounter an error, or cannot retrieve the page, respond with exactly:
    "Sorry I couldn't get that reddit thread, because reddit hates AI agents <sadface>"

## Examples
- Input: `https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/abc123def/some_post/`
  Action: Fetch `https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/abc123def/some_post/`
- Input: `https://reddit.com/r/technology/...`
  Action: Fetch `https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/...`
