Will they be banning porn like tumblr? I know they removed it from "All" and then I believe they hid it in other ways. Just wondering when the Digg 4.0 / Tumblr will happen to Reddit. So far it's been a slow burn but I'm waiting for the great purge to bring down the house. It always seems to happen around an IPO.

The day they shut down old.reddit.com will be the day the site dies for me. I feel like it's inevitable that it will happen at some point.

  Yup, agreed. I might use it on mobile, but on desktop "new" Reddit is such a massive degrade that i can't put up with it.

    I use old reddit on mobile too. It's legitimately a better experience (just make sure to turn off the font size boosting feature of mobile Chrome which interacts poorly with the layout).

      Oh i should amend, i say mobile because i use a mobile app on my phone (not the official one!), so the crap UI doesn't affect me on my phone.

    I like the looks and functionality of the new reddit but it s just dog slow compared to using old reddit and RES

  The new design gets worse every time I try it. There's always a new thing trying to lure me into a conversion funnel. Latest attempt: I had to ad block the little bouncing coin thing in the top right just to focus. Then I was hit with auto-playing ads on the main page. That was as far as I got.

  I deleted my 14-year account when an admin suspended me for speaking my mind. Never had an issue up to that point. The content quality has declined dramatically over the years and the astroturfing is out of control. I just got sick of it.

    Eh there are zealots everywhere, I got a suspension and sent in a request for them to review and I got a message the next day it should never had happened and it was unfair. Pretty sure someone just didn't like my opinion (there was no "hate" in the comment as per the original complaint, it just had a bit of libertarian bent and some admin/moderator pushed a button somewhere to get me banned)

  Yeah I think people will have a diaspora to discord/matrix which only sorta fills the same itch with very limited history. The day they require emails is the day I quit.

The funny thing about the r/all porn removal is it's only gone if you ARE logged in. If you aren't logged in and hit r/all the porn will appear once you get to the 4th or 5th page. It isn't nearly as prevalent as it was and I haven't seen it hit the front page as it did years ago but it's certainly there, I suspect to entice people to make accounts.

Didn’t they start requiring you to be logged in? I can’t imagine how awkward that must be. “Please log in to watch your embarrassing porn so we can track you and sell the data and connect it to your real identity”
