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:

Referrer, really? Disable browser wide

I use safereddit.com now, it's unfortunate I can't access old reddit. New reddit is safer my ass

It's completely dead to me now

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

Ya know, I might repost some of my reddit posts here

Sometimes to block an obnoxious user I have to go to old reddit to see the option.

It's also been forcing login to access new reddit, so as far as I can tell the site is just completely unusable for anyone without an account.

redreader still works without login. libreddit domain also works, just slow as hell for media.
