Old.reddit.com no longer works for logged out users
Used old.reddit.com for ~10 years with no problem to get around the "new" UI, including yesterday. Come today, and there's a unavoidable pop-up saying it's for logged-in users only.
- orionblastar 1mo agoSo much for being anonymous and reading old.reddit.com?
- MrbroJangles 1mo agoCurrently wfm logged out, in a fresh private browser window with this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/old-reddit-re...
- enjoyyourlife 1mo agoTry using https://github.com/mkornreich/old_reddit https://github.com/mkornreich/old_reddit to browse Reddit with the old reddit layout while logged out
- benoau 1mo agoWorks ok for browsing links, it’s not as nice as “old” but it’s okay - but the post comments are still the incoherent “new” design.
- enjoyyourlife 1mo agoFeel free to make a Github issue because I can't reproduce it. The comments for me are in the old design
- benoau 1mo agoMy bad I was thinking of a similar extension "sheddit". Yours is quite a bit nicer.
- bhhaskin 1mo agoIt's simple, if I can't access old.reddit without a login, then I don't access reddit at all. My money is it won't be long before old reddit is deprecated altogether.
- gruntled-worker 1mo agoLikewise. I can't help but wonder how many people they're expecting to switch to enshittified reddit or to log in after this change. Maybe 1% will? I'm not installing a browser plugin. I'll just take a vacation until there's an xcancel-like solution.
- bhhaskin 1mo agoIt's like just the old reddit accounts that use it, and they just don't care about us anymore. It's all about that ad money and tracking.
- tripleee 1mo ago"On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel." funny that :(
- kojeovo 1mo agoas an old.reddit user i'm surprised it's still up at all. they are surely losing money on people like us
