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:~~

Edit: Best bet now is to use a proxy like safereddit.com.

i noticed something also unusual, if you post a comment on FF, or its fork it refreshes the page? seems like a bug.

Happened weeks ago for me. I begrudgingly made a throwaway account with a throwaway email.

Then they slapped me with age verification as well.

Fuck 'em.

Logging into old.reddit.com via tor browser works intermittently. As far as I can tell the reddit onion site is entirely broken.
