Old.reddit.com Gone

It may just be me, but old.reddit.com is finally gone. And, at last, I am free

it was working when at night, and stopped working for all browser forks as well this morning. currently using redlib on a desktop, so i dont have to use the ugly UI. they already started restricted it when they made the comments mysteriously load forever. and now its only available if you are logged in.

i have to use sinkit extension to remove the ugly sidebar feed on new reddit.

It looks like old.reddit.com still works but requires logging in. Not having to log in was a huge feature for old.reddit.com. Sucks to see it go, but it was inevitable.

they eventually want to get rid of old reddit while logged in, and force users to use the new ugly UI that is basically like facebook.

it looks like a lot of the functionality of old reddit for seeing not-ad-decided sort orders is going away, so the whole old reddit will probably be gone by the end of the year

You have to be logged in and, if I understand correctly, if you don't log in to old.reddit for six months (retroactive) they take it away.

		My understanding (just from chatting with Gemini) is you just need to visit reddit (logged in) within the past 6 mos and don't have to log out/in again or anything like that. So basically, I probably have a bunch of accounts from years ago; suspect that all but my current one no longer work with old reddit. Biggest annoyance for me would be on mobile where i wouldn't log in.

safereddit.com also broken

eddrit.com also broken

but r.naa.gg still works! (not for long though, probably, since Reddit admins read HN)

		it doesnt work anymore while logged out, since this morning. reddit is forcing people to log in to use it now. they want to datamine people more, since the fiasco 2 months ago where they were forcing that login popup.
