Fuck reddit.
If you need the old info download the archive. 99% of anything newer than 3 years is going to be bot slop. There's zero reason to go to reddit intentionally.

omg no! anyway
I've seen this a few times, I've just abandoned the thing I clicked and quickly found a different source.
Wasn't even an inconvenience. This is a real stupid idea on Reddit's part.

Sometimes to block an obnoxious user I have to go to old reddit to see the option.
I knew it was over when the CEO payed himself 200 million the year before it went public (or whatever) he basically looted the fucking place cause he knew it'd be worthless soon after

redreader still works without login. libreddit domain also works, just slow as hell for media.
Is Reddit still a thing? I wasn't aware?
I thought that it had evolved into a bot parliament.
I thought that it had evolved into a bot parliament.
It did. The moderation filters that are supposed to ban people for rule breaking are automated by bots and the appeals are also ran by bots. They made it so all accounts are tied to a single, making it so if you had alts to bypass the ban, they banned those too and don't give you any time to appeal again.
There's also too many things you can get banned for now and because it's all automated now, Lemmy, is the last vestige of being able to speak your mind and there's no hive mind here.
well not as ready to use their stingers here and down votes don't mean shit here like at least if you're down voted here, you're not hidden into an oblivion and your comment shadow banned.
Reddit is a hive-mind bullshit area where if you don't agree on everything you're attacked in a way where if you retort to what could very well be be perceived as cyber bullying, you're banned. If you retort to anything by speaking your mind, you're banned or blocked from the community.
It's full of pieces of shit, even the bass guitar community, it's all people telling other people who go there for advice to go to another forum or identifying bass guitars that google lens can figure out by model number.
there's no hive mind here
lolwut.
I guess you say there isn't a single hivemind, it's hiveminds divided by instance.

I used python to write a program that bypasses the login prompt and displays the site in a wrapper that's identical to old reddit. It's honestly been kind of fun adding in features that were removed from the site years ago. Fuck spez and fuck all of his admins.

Fuck you spez
They're definitely doing A/B testing; I just tried it in a private window and I can still access it, but posts like this are becoming more frequent.
Why aren't they just making the new version better, so that people are happy to use it?
They want the shareholders happy, not the people.
