Nice excuse, I guess.
i wonder when they’ll completely kill old.reddit
Working on it. A few weeks ago they added a new restriction: you can only use it while logged in.

They just made it so you can only use Old Reddit if you’ve used it within the past six months. If you ever go that long without visiting Old Reddit it’s blocked forever for that account. New accounts can’t use it at all.
Give it a year or two and they’ll use the suddenly much smaller userbase as an excuse to finally kill it entirely.
And RES now uses new reddit. Damn.
Wasn’t one of it’s cofounders literally the inventor of RSS?
Yeah the one that was hounded to suicide by malicious lawyers. He was a genius who was too good for this world and his positive influence over Reddit has long been a mere footnote.
Literally one of the worst things to happen to the internet imho. Imagine if Reddit embraced ActivityPub.
