I used python to write a program that bypasses the login prompt and displays the site in a wrapper that's identical to old reddit. It's honestly been kind of fun adding in features that were removed from the site years ago. Fuck spez and fuck all of his admins.

I'm sick of reddit. I've been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don't get banned though
Same. I said "fuck republicans" and got 'permanently suspended'... which is just the dumbest thing in itself

Why aren't they just making the new version better, so that people are happy to use it?
The old reddit was optimized for users, then new reddit is optimized for the shareholders to maximize profit, this is why it is shitty.
It has a technical name: enshittification

Fuck spez, the greedy tiny penis-head that he is.

I haven't participated in reddit in quite awhile. But I still lurk on some niche communities, and often the site is the best result from search results. For those like me, I recommend redlib. It's a reddit front-end that lets you browse reddit without the abusive behavior. It won't allow you to post or comment, but you can still browse.
Reddit lost access to my comment contributions when their AI banned me for stupid reasons. They lost what ad revenue they could get from me when they blocked old reddit.
The harder you squeeze, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

I'm so happy they started doing this. They made me want to really start switching to Lemmy

What are they going to do when they kill the rest of the olds that contributed and built that site?
My local subreddit replaced the mod during the APIpocalypse and it has turned to next door style whining and bickering. Then there are the also-whining counter whiners, and the shills.

Reddit thinks they're an exclusivity club nowadays. Love that mentality for them, just a platform full of bots, misinformation purposed for political polarization.
They wouldn't even let me delete my account last week, "errors occured" so I just uninstalled. Good riddance.
I got shut out last night, I'd guess my traffic will go down about 95%.
Congrats reddit!
Fuck you spez
Completely unrelated question: any recommendations for a good porn feed, besides fedinsfw.app?

It's completely dead to me now
Aaand I have to log in too now. Well, fuck off.
They're definitely doing A/B testing; I just tried it in a private window and I can still access it, but posts like this are becoming more frequent.
Reddit has gotten really lame, there's always been saddos who troll through entire post history's when they can't win an argument.
Lately they've changed stratagies to calling people underage instead hoping mods delete accounts or something I guess. It just comes across as absolutely pathetic to me.
But yeah Reddit is definitely breaking old.reddit on purpose and will probably be just mostly bots soon .
I have a theory that only shitstains complain about "people digging through post history". Let's put it to the test:
Being from the UK I actually support Nuking them if they try it again, the Falklands are all British Citizens and they voted on it fairly, let them revote if they like.
Well, there you have it. No wonder you don't want people looking at your public post history. You're in favor of using nuclear weapons against Argentina for a land dispute. Lmao. Theory confirmed.

omg no! anyway
My old account was banned from reddit a bit over a year ago. I don't remember what I said that caused it, but it was anti-Musk.
I used to contribute a ton to that site, but after the ban I didn't bother making a new account. I just leeched the site using old.reddit and had ad-block on. I found my use was reduced over the last few months because it's just recycled posts these days.
I'm not creating an account just to browse old.reddit and see memes from 3 years ago.
