    Don’t forget that you can’t use VPN now, use the web version on mobile, and most accounts gets banned as soon as they are created by the automod.

      You also cannot view it without being logged in now. Which gets a groan from everyone in chat when a friend shares a Reddit link.

      I have no clue why they decided chasing off users and being less useful was somehow going to help them. Particularly when they were the place to go for huge segments of the population.

        You can without being logged in, but not old reddit. If you’re getting the “join the most alive place on the net” (lol) popup, ublock has optional anti-annoyance filters that fix it.

            Yeeeh. There’s a “oh you gotta log in” pop up on “new” reddit now, and old reddit makes you log in. Site’s gone to shit

                Nahhh they’re going full Pinterest “you have to log in to see ANYTHING!” D:

                For now, you can still use nü-reddit without an account.

      Just within the last week or so old.reddit.com was effectively disabled and stopped working. (I think it might work if you log in, but i quit doing that 3 years ago). It was a nice resource and it’s said that it’s such a shell of what it was. Right when the internet is really needing human voices too

        They are only doing one segment of users at a time and I’m guessing their metrics are telling them 90% of those users don’t play ball and just stop visiting. I’m guessing they might go back on it in a bit.
