Frankly to me no reddit at all is a better option than the hellscape that is the new site.

If they get rid of old reddit, I'm gone. I've said so for years, and if this post is true (I was still able to comment without a problem), it's coming soon. SO much for 10 years on Reddit.

  I quit Reddit during the pandemic because all the covid discussion was driving me round the bend a bit, but I came back when things got back to normal. I'm pretty much in the same boat, if Reddit make it impossible to use anything but the new site on desktop I'm gone. I just hope general dissatisfaction with Reddit leads to a rebirth of the forums Reddit killed off during its rise to prominence. I'd literally rather use Reddit though the terminal than their awful new site! I have no idea what their designers were thinking when they came up with it, it's such a faff to actually do anything with.

    I unjoined everything about that time. My home page is empty and I don't feel like I'm missing out. I have multis (maybe custom feeds now?) for the topics I actually want to see. It's worked for me.

For what it's worth, as much as I loved reddit in the past, staying off it along with facebook have made such an improvement upon my life. I totally get wanting to just relax and scroll interesting topics but similar to tiktok, a lot of stuff is just "nonsense" and "noise." Felt like I was missing everything after I got off but then I realized I really wasn't lol.

  I actually now append the word reddit to Google searches. I never did do the Reddit front page for some reason so I have never understood why Reddit is classed with other social media. I always used Reddit for the subreddits. Apart from HN and Stackoverflow and one or two other sites like instructables.com I don't think there is many other sites with better curated useful information on specific subjects.
