We know RSS has been a beloved part of the open web for a long time, and we're grateful to everyone who used it to stay connected to Reddit,

It’s like they aren’t even listening to the words they are saying themselves

My friendship ended with Reddit. Now Lemmy is my friend. 🫂

I have to say, this war on Old Reddit is doing wonders to curb my Reddit use.

That change helped reduce scraping and automated abuse, but still allowed any logged-in account to access Old Reddit, including accounts with no prior Old Reddit use.

To close this gap, in the next few months, we'll further limit access for logged-in users to only those who have used Old Reddit in the last six months

How horrible, ANY logged-in account can just access old reddit?? That needs to be fixed asap, how dare new users just use old reddit when they have a perfectly good shreddit available to them. — Reddit admins apparently

Nice admission there. Didn't expect them to be this open about their true feelings on the matter.

Fuck you, spez.

It all went downhill when the government killed Aaron Swartz.

"Wait. No! Not like that!" --Also Steve Huffman

i don't buy this "continues to fight AI scraping" bullshit for a second. they literally ceased API access for regular users after they sold the rights to google to specifically scrape their site with AI.

"In the next few months, we'll further limit access for logged-in users to only those who have used Old Reddit in the last six months (which covers the vast majority of all Old Reddit users),"

really? you expect me to believe the majority of old reddit users are old reddit users?

Reddit is gone move on

Nothing to see here folks, just reddit continuing to dig its own grave.

Why are we still caring what Reddit does?

So when the shitty AI moderation kills your latest account, your new one won't be able to access the only decent interface. Good to know.

I only use reddit now to mod two subreddits. If I lose that account, that's it, I'm gone. I already stopped posting news to my local city one because I just don't care enough.

I still follow some webcomics and search for things occasionally on Reddit. Using Redlib has been fantastic. Don't need to worry about their interface changes. Don't need to worry about having an account. Just input the few subscriptions I need into the Redlib docker container. All my devices are setup to redirect Reddit links to my Redlib deployment.

:(

Never got into new Reddit. It feels so charmless and soulless.

been banned on reddit for stating the truth already and tried many times to fix things. reddit is anti free speech on all accounts when it was nothing inflamatory just stating truth and their mods are mostly corrupt anyway for their industry agendas. lots of ai bots and spam. useless platform when it gets incorporated it becomes useless

I cant get into old reddit anymore. Im kinda bummed as there is some subreddits like the litrpg community I cant find here or anywhere on the fedi. Oh well...

existing users who haven't used it for six months will also be barred.

Wow, that really is awful. If I don't use Reddit every six months I'm permanently kicked out of it? (Am I reading that right?)

I rarely go there, but when I do want to look up something I like to have the option.

(pls don't pretend like new reddit exists, thx)

Haven't been on Reddit for over 2 years

Old.reddit still works fine on firefox on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8+ but my PC, pixel fold, and every other device only lets me view the old style when browsing multiple subreddits. If I want to see an individual subreddit I append the address with a banned sub e.g. old.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales+narcofootage.

I wish Lemmy was as searchable as Reddit.

Fuck Reddit.

Fuck Spez.

It was good while it lasted. Join Digg and geocities I guess. Reddit In Peace
