yet they’re keep making it harder to use. they removed the old login form for no reason lol (it still works if you add back the removed html so it’s obv no security bs)
Doubt
What a liar. I hope that pasty cat f***** suffers a slowly from feline AIDS. Seeing as he’s the reason the feline population even caught it.
When they say “people,” does that mean, 1, 20, 8 million, or what? They will define it and I’m sure this is a way of saying they’re getting rid of it so there isn’t a grand exodus.
Yea this sounds like preparing to make excuses and claim “no one was using it” (aka less than 1 billion users). I’m expecting it to be removed in 2026.
My copium is that the website was initially built in a way where they can’t delete old reddit without breaking it.
The only reason I’m here in the first place is because it’s ridiculously obvious that they’re killing old reddit soon. Every time they add some new bullshit feature it breaks our reddit just a little more and it becomes less and less usable. Meanwhile new reddit is also becoming less and less usable as they try to make it Facebook 2.0. It’s all getting enshittified very quickly.
I only stayed on Reddit as long as I did because of Old Reddit. New Reddit simply isn’t worth it.
I never cared about new reddit vs old reddit, because it always looked the same on Baconreader. I couldn’t continue after I lost that. I really wish there was a Lemmy fork of it, it was my favorite.
Connect is pretty good so far, not quite the same.
yup. New reddit is a cancer. Old reddit may be old and antiquated, but it’s a SHITLOAD better than new reddit. Not that i use either anymore
Old reddit has been mentioned.
He’s definitely gunning on shutting it down
If I may say that I hope more people support Lemmy. We need to get away from Reddit and it will be difficult. I’m kinda new to Lemmy and I plan on donating.
The real story is buried in there:
Reddit is going to ask for a bit more identifying information from its users, too.
Yeah not going to happen.
Does it only work on a desktop now? Even before I stopped using reddit regularly, the old.reddit domain stopped being in the old reddit format, and looks no different from just going directly to reddit.com.
There’s a browser extension that forces it.
Yes, it still works in browsers.
I’m still using old reddit, but I’m very excited about the return of Digg and partnership of Kevin Rose and Alex Ohanian. Hopefully that scares Huffman and somewhere in the Great Beyond, Aaron Swartz is smiling.
I guess this does matter to me, because every time i see new reddit, I take the requisite 10 seconds to retype the URL and change to old reddit. I never log in anymore, but I do make sure its old reddit.
time for me to take a shit out of my ass
Who cares. Reddit is dead.
Worrying about Reddit on Lemmy reeks of insecure-ex when your new girlfriend is way hotter and actually nice.
Yeah, you know what’s nice about Lemmy? Not being shadow banned, or banned for expressing a legitimate opinion that’s appropriate considering the topic at hand. I mean, it still happens on Lemmy, but at the community level, it’s not pervasive throughout.
Many niche communities have not migrated to Lemmy or any other platform. The value isn’t the platform, it’s the people that make the content. Until reddit is truly dead, it will continue rotting itself from the inside out, and that affects all of us who still need to use reddit for the niche.
Network effects are a hell of a drug
The Japan-related subs where people share visa, legal, medical, financial and other resources are super important to those of us living here and, despite many times asking, will not move over. Moving over without the people holding that knowledge is pointless. So, as much as I dislike it, I still have to use a very limited section of reddit for things like that (being a new small business owner in Japan be hard).
These kinds of “who cares” comments are rather rude, I came across an article about Reddit and I posted it to the relevant comm.
Doesn’t mean we’re all spending every minute of everyday thinking about Reddit
I’m a rude boi. I’m just made this way
Unsub from this community if you don’t want to see anything Reddit related.
You are actively viewing a community called [email protected] , then complaining about the community containing news and info about Reddit.
Yeah I’m dumb
nah, you’re not dumb - you’re just used to reddit! :P
You might want to just block this community then.
There are still some niche subs that Lemmy hasn’t replaced yet, and this is a place where we can discuss Reddit without having to worry about shadowbans, automods, or other means of Reddit admins quelling discussions that they don’t like.
Yeah I’m dumb
