Had to check some health related subreddits today and my account seems to be automatically redirecting to new reddit. To see old style reddit I’ve got to manually put in old.reddit.com as the url. Looks like the account settings under old reddit were edited and changed to preferences, and there is no longer a toggle to “opt out of redesign”. Just a field you can check to automatically redirect to new reddit, which is unchecked on my account but it’s still redirecting to it

Second wave of redditors incoming soon when Reddit finally decides to deactivate old style.

It’ll be really funny if they turn off old reddit because that was something they kept saying will remain untouched.

Oh, they’ll leave it untouched alright. It will stay untouched until some convenient back end change breaks it, and it will remain untouched forever more. No patches, no fixes.

Steve Huffman (Spez) also does the exact opposite of those things.

Right now old Reddit + Reddit Enhancement Suite is the best way of moderating subreddits

I think the only reason Reddit still keeps it around is that it lets them delay building equivalent moderation tools into new Reddit and the official app

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
