Old reddit is unfortunately just a rounding error. I weep for the day they decide to kill it.

I don't, the utility of reddit has declined over time for me but there are still a handful of reddits that I enjoy but them killing old.reddit.com is absolutely what will push me off the platform entirely.

Though at this point I spend (or waste depending on PoV) much less time on reddit than I used to.

I'm sure they're going to eventually. They say they won't, but they deprecated private messages. Yeah, I did use those lol.

weep? I'd finally be free. I wish this site would disappear too. Whoever designed these algorithms got me good, at a young age, and I don't think these sites have been a net positive overall or on me personally

Iam nearly 15 years on reddit now and I would miss it if i cant use old. or a good client. Iam sure sooner or later it will happen and ill most probably leave.

Reddits quality went downhill over the years but there is more or less no successor/competitor. It will be over and buried forever. Eternal september gets them all.

Side note: be free if you want to and dont make it dependent on decisions others do for you.

I am in the same boat. I think I will get a lot more of time back if they kill old

We are already free. If we keep returning to a few subreddits, it's because we can't find an equivalent community elsewhere. If they kill the old interface, we'll eventually use the new one if there are no other alternatives, no need to lie to ourselves.

Nah, I just leave. Because I want too, and because I don't like Reddit's AI training ppolicies.
