The other day, Reddit asked me to supply my government-supplied ID card or a selfie to prove that I'm an adult.

Lol! It'll be a cold day in hell before that happens.

I have no Reddit habit to kick, but if I did, this would cure it in a hurry.

Yeah that’s probably some effect from them forcing logins recently. Like today the news on that is everywhere

old.lemmy.world - try this

Yep. I really wished anything I used on there actually existed on Lemmyverse, or anywhere else decent, lol. I loathe Discord, but at least one sub has a decent server so I can follow deals on it.

Very sad that they're destroying years of information, good and bad. It's not like I wouldn't have jumped ship before if there was an alternative, but for most things, there really isn't.

I can't do New reddit either. I remember when it came out I said I would never use the site again once they inevitably did this. Tried New reddit out of curiosity, and it was so much worse than I remember.

For now, old accounts work for old reddit. I have a shadowbanned (presumably, posts never showed up) account that I use to monitor subs for deals. But at this point, it's a matter of months, if not weeks. The timing of this, I suspect, is not coincidental either.

Every day the hoard grows. Welcome home.

Why are you’ve even trying??

Are you talking about those short reddit links? the only way is to go through them on new reddit then switch back to old.
