- sys_64738 7y agoExactly this. Old reddit is good for you but bad. Just disable old reddit already. Liberate me!
- buboard 7y agohow come reddit has become such a bad habit? it works ok for me as a general purpose forum, as long as i avoid the major political subs
- DuskStar 7y agoBecause every major sub is also a political sub, now.
- Coffeewine 7y agoTo build on this point, even the discussions which aren’t literally US politics are predominantly incredibly negative. To a degree that’s the internet these days, but Reddit exhibits it quite strongly.
- buboard 7y agobut reddit is topical. If you frequent only well-moderated communities you don't really have that, even in political subreddits. E.g. r/machinelearning, r/futurology, r/goldandblack
- tomjen3 7y agoThat is also a HN thing, sadly. At least on reddit, it is easier to find a different community.
- kup0 7y agoAgreed. I've given "new" reddit tons of chances. I've tried it out for days at a time, only to find that I was annoyed enough by the interface that I was using it MUCH less. The only reason I'm still there now is because the old version is still accessible. And encountering the mobile site from a mobile search is incredibly painful when just trying to view some simple information. Should not require an app or a purposely-hostile mobile experience to simply view text on a webpage.
