| old reddit isn't really blocked, you just have to be logged in |

| Conveniently, Reddit has auto-banned the last three accounts I tried opening with them [1], which really enhances the impact of the old.reddit changes for me personally. [1] I have no idea why this is the case, AFAICT it's just anti-bot autoimmune disorder deciding it doesn't like some signal or other. |

| Old reddit is still around but reddit's leadership made statements lately suggesting we should expect old reddit to start sunsetting. For me, old reddit constantly flips to the crappy new reddit and within the 10-20 minutes/2-3 days I spend looking at it I have to manually revert my preference back to see old reddit maybe twice a week - despite old reddit already being set as the preference. To me, that signals they want users on new reddit, which I dislike, so I'd actually just leave the site entirely without old reddit. It's already gone severely down hill in the last 5 or so years to the point I barely use it. |

| ▲ | lovich 2 days ago | parent [-] | | New Reddit is literally unusable for me. And I mean actually literal. Anytime an image is opened in new Reddit I have a 50% chance of not being able to back out of the page without it immediately redirecting back to the image and then locking the whole tab. I’m not even able to enter a different site into the url bar, I have to kill the tab and open a new one. Even logged in old.reddit is worse than logged out as it recalculates the post order after hitting back from a post instead of just giving me the same fucking page I was on. I don’t know what Reddit plan is, or their business model going forward if users can’t actually use it. Although I did notice today they’ve added games so I guess they might be going for ad revenue on that like news sites have done in recent years. |

| I'll not login on the couch tablet so no more reddit for me on it. |

| ▲ | bcraven 2 days ago | parent [-] | | If you're worried about addictive scrolling perhaps your "couch tablet" is worth side-eyeing. | | |
| ▲ | creaturemachine 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I've yet to find a more suitable use for a tablet. Maybe the whole device class is cooked. | | |

| ▲ | ThatMedicIsASpy 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | The couch tablet just had old.reddit.com/r/all
On my desktop I have thousands of bots on my ignore list as well as hundreds of subs.
The tablet gave me the true unfiltered garbage that I hardly see elsewhere. |
