I care to some extent. But both old.reddit.com still works just fine and 3rd party apps when using my personal API key still work. I am still using Apollo on iOS and it's still working just fine for me. As long as these 2 things work I'll likely still continue using it. So I care to the point that if I can get them to work then I will stick around, but when I can't then I'll leave.

old.reddit is nice but it feels like having a conversation while on death row - still a couple of appeals pending but the endgame is not really in doubt. The end of RedditIsFun (https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/ https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/) was the end of my Reddit era - I'm still on r/askHistorians, r/askScience and a couple of niche leftovers, but I stopped moderating - the interests of the platform and its users have obviously diverged.

  Not to mention, moderation tools are spread over the old site, the new site, and the mobile site in completely incongruous ways. I'm sure there are tools I'm not even aware of as a mod, because I'm not interested in digging into two additional interfaces, when most of what I need to do is "remove post", and "ban user from subreddit".

    I'm a mod and I mainly use the mod interface in the Apollo app that I still use.

    I moderate exclusively on Old Reddit with the Moderator Toolbox extension, I can't imagine doing it any other way.

I wouldn't say old. is fine. It's all I use, but there are big flaws: some posts just aren't viewable and you'll end up on new. if you're not careful.

  There are extensions to force you onto old and improve the UI.

  It seems to be OK for me, but I am using https://redditenhancementsuite.com/ https://redditenhancementsuite.com/ So maybe that makes a difference. I think it forces the old interface. Like my URL isn't even old.reddit, but all I see is the old interface. Or maybe I don't use subs with newer posts types that are not compatible with old?

  Seems fine to me. Been a heavy user before and after the reskin and the only thing I've noticed missing is polls.

Same here, but I'm still using (glances left, glances right) Alien Blue on iOS (Shhhh...). I have NEVER seen an ad on mobile Reddit. Someday they'll do something so that it stops working and I'll be off Reddit.

Apollo was disabled by the developer. It now shows a thank you screen and stuff. There is no way you could be using it.

  You can still use it though, but it's not entirely straightforward: you need to sideload it, see https://www.reddit.com/r/apollosideloaded/ https://www.reddit.com/r/apollosideloaded/

  Yes you can still use modified versions that allow using your own personal api keys. The reddit api has not changed and a personal api key is free and has something like 1000 hits a day which is plenty even for a heavy user. https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo

Funnily my Boost for Reddit app also using a personal API key has stopped working today. Hopefully I'll be able to fix it but it'll be pretty sad if not.
