I'll say it again, the day they block me from old.reddit.com, is the day I leave the site permanently.

I've already made this migration after they started requiring a login. It's been pleasant.
Migration where?

The fediverse is one place
Use redlib. It's crazy how much better the interface is than both old and new reddit.
I had a 2005 (launch year) Reddit account. I deleted it when the API shenanigans happened and haven’t looked back. I have my browsers all set up to redirect Reddit.com to a Redlib instance. I will never visit or participate in the site again.
My biggest regret is that I didn’t anonymize & overwrite all my comments, so AI fuckery has access to them forever.
Edit: forgot the obligatory fuck /u/spez
Why are you still there? Even if you are the 1% still on Old Reddit, you are looking a site created by the 99% on the app (or New Reddit). And that's why it has become a wasteland of image posts and inane 180-character quips. Conversation has declined even on more serious subs because the new interfaces hide most comments from uses by default.
I like /r/rust, /r/writing, and /r/sydney. I also like browsing by top of all posts for subreddits about things I don't know much about, like /r/sociology, or /r/meditation.
I don't think these are enough to make me want to stay on the site, because I can join the Rust Programming Language forum. I'm sure there is a similar analogue for the writing and Sydney subreddits.
same here. How to kill a platform 101.
Greedy fucks. I've hated them ever since they took RIF away from me.

..but the platform is owned by shareholders now. Who needs the original purpose and intent that got them here when they're sitting on the golden data egg in the age of AI, a page from the Tesla/Space playbook..
I wish this was /s
