Had to check some health related subreddits today and my account seems to be automatically redirecting to new reddit. To see old style reddit I’ve got to manually put in old.reddit.com as the url. Looks like the account settings under old reddit were edited and changed to preferences, and there is no longer a toggle to “opt out of redesign”. Just a field you can check to automatically redirect to new reddit, which is unchecked on my account but it’s still redirecting to it
Second wave of redditors incoming soon when Reddit finally decides to deactivate old style.
It’ll be really funny if they turn off old reddit because that was something they kept saying will remain untouched.
Oh, they’ll leave it untouched alright. It will stay untouched until some convenient back end change breaks it, and it will remain untouched forever more. No patches, no fixes.
Steve Huffman (Spez) says a lot of things.
Steve Huffman (Spez) also does the exact opposite of those things.
Was also moderator of underage teen porn subreddits.
Though while it’s trivial to criticize Huffsglueman for a lot of things, we need to also keep it real: You can just make someone a moderator of a sub. They get notified, sure, but they’re already listed in the sidebar. They don’t have to actively do anything to get there.
Like the API?
Right now old Reddit + Reddit Enhancement Suite is the best way of moderating subreddits
I think the only reason Reddit still keeps it around is that it lets them delay building equivalent moderation tools into new Reddit and the official app
I use the old.reddit extension on firefox to force it. I haven’t been on there for a while now so not sure if it still works.
Yeah, that was a necessity for browsing in private mode for…reasons.
Fwiw, if you are still going to reddit for those…reasons, bing video search with safe search off is really very good and free of spam pop-ups and has a good integrated video player (at least with a decent ad block turned on).
I hate that i understand…reasons. Despite that we all have…reasons.

I have it installed and I’d swear it still works.
I haven’t been logged in since blackout day and, in that state, I can still see old.reddit
If I hadn’t left Reddit already that would have made me fuck right off.
i use old.reddit.com and i see no changes
old reddit works for me on www.reddit.com while logged in
