New Reddit is so so bad, I feel like I'm in a hallucinogenic nightmare when I accidentally click into it. Kudos that they kept the sane old option for people who want to use the website.

And this is not considering that new Reddit is horribly slow. You can be waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for the actual content to load.

I prefer old reddit because I use it to read things. But if you are into photos, memes, etc, the new reddit is better for just infinite scrolling while scanning images without having to click into each post to see images. I understand the direction they took, it wasn't for people like us who like sites like HN.

Old is much better. Even then it's not perfect. The goddamn sidebar keeps taking up 80% of the screen on my vertical monitor or portrait phone.

I got fed of it; I just use TUIR with a ~/.mailcap file, and ed/vi as the comment editor.

Ultrafast, easy and the CPU usage is pretty low.
