While I agree that old.Reddit is the only way to use that unfortunately-required site… it will not fix the obvious and subtle shilling.

  There's also teddit! I host my own instance and access it with Tailscale. I use a Kagi rewrite rule so that Reddit results link to my teddit instance. https://github.com/teddit-net/teddit https://github.com/teddit-net/teddit

I feel like we need to do a PSA campaign for unaware users that old.reddit.com exists. Sorta like the remember to check your tire pressure. Feel bad for folks that use the new ui unwittingly

  Honestly, since i set Kagi to rewrite my searches to old.reddit, i have forgotten new reddit exists lol. I hope someone makes a forum on top of ATProto. Their tech stack is far more interesting to me compared to ActivityPub, but i just can't stomach the Twitter-style UI of Bluesky to switch to that from Reddit.

The day they shut down old.reddit.com (or the preferences option to fall back to the old site by default) is the day I stop using reddit permanently.

  They likely know many users feel this way even if they're not the majority, which means old will probably go dark after the IPO (and after a bunch of people bought into their "direct share program")

If old.reddit.com does go away, so will I. The "newer" version is truly horrid.

  Especially the extra-lazy comment loading, which seems to only be getting worse with time. Threads that go too deep now require navigating to a new page, and comments frequently have "1 more reply" that either never loads or doesn't actually exist.

They did promise to not shut it down but not sure I’d trust them to stick to it
