As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.
Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.
Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.
Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:
||reddit.com^$header=referer:
I’m sick of reddit. I’ve been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don’t get banned though
Same. I said “fuck republicans” and got ‘permanently suspended’… which is just the dumbest thing in itself
Yep loved old.reddit but nope, no more. Happy to be a Lemmyor now 😀 or whats the correct term? Lol. Cheers!
We’re lemmings. There’s a smooth way to say it.
Clearly BuckFutter wants to be LemMayor of the joint after hanging around for two days
Ha fair enough, I’ll go back to my hole now. Just happy to find a place that reminds of what reddit used to be like back in the 2010’s. Cheers!
Ha! Love it! Smooth indeed. Cheers!
Reddit:
I could excuse account locking for “own safety”, but removing the 10+ old acount posts due to an automated filters was it for me. First it was one and in a few days all the posts were filtered out! Not fine. Reddit sucks.
Gotta love how people continue to post this lol. Fuck spez.
Reddit thinks they’re an exclusivity club nowadays. Love that mentality for them, just a platform full of bots, misinformation purposed for political polarization.
They wouldn’t even let me delete my account last week, “errors occured” so I just uninstalled. Good riddance.
does the
||reddit.com^$header=referer:fix still work? I can’t seem to get it this wayNope doesn’t seem so. Your best bet now is to use a proxy like safereddit.com.
Hm. Thanks, I’ll be using this and other instances for historical/other important posts that are only on Reddit for now.
I discovered Lemmy last week. Lurked for a while, then finally created an account. The experience is much better than Reddit so I say good riddance.
Welcome!
Did the switch as well and feel the same. Welcome and Cheers!
Welcome ‘ere Bucky!
Thanks and Cheers!
Yeah it just hit me. I deleted all my accounts over a year ago and just look around on there. I guess no more looking.
Welcome to Lemmy for the last reddit users, that used old.reddit, looks like we are complete now. The rest of reddit are noobs and bots.
I came here three years ago when they killed the API and Reddit is Fun on mobile. I refuse to use their mobile site but still used their desktop. If they kill old.reddit I guess I’m done then.
