I can't believe they didn't nuke old . reddit yet. I left when they killed the API that killed off all the 3rd party apps. Deleted my account and never looked back. Fuck reddit, fuck Spez, fuck the greedy corpo that its become.
I give old . reddit a year or two before they remove it.
It is very much unmaintained, I assume they will just let it break since only like 5 people use it still
I'm entirely capable of circumventing Reddit bans and I'm probably on my 50th+ account by now. I spend most of my time here, but I still have a Reddit account for various reasons. If they finally nuke old.reddit I will at long last peace out for good and never look back. Every time I log in I expect it'll be gone. Reddit excels at making awful decisions regarding their platform.
i assume new devices, new IP, or the paid methods using anit-detect browsers/proxies. the first one is more likely than the latter(since i only know one forum that discusses the latter). i got shadowbanned last year, so i many accounts just incase one got banned, but thier AI banned them all at once(like many others).
"in order to simplify Reddit"
Corpospeech has evolved from euphemisms and marketing tricks to being completely divorced from reality hasn't it?
/r/all was the simplest thing ever, the best posts of all of Reddit. It was a normal button/link. It was Reddit itself, "the front page of the internet"
But thankfully there's still "Reddit Pro" and whatever bullshit they came up with since going public. That is so simple!
It's double speak.
People learned the power of words and now they are abusing them.
The American public with all their faults will nearly trust any written word. Anything besides what they've already been programmed to immediately be skeptical of they will readily accept into their reality like good little consumers.
Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.
I guess they are just ignoring old.reddit until they pull the plug on that completely
That will be the day I finally never return. Old Reddit kinda sucks but it's still miles better than the modern abomination.
Old reddit is a lot more tolerable if you're using it with RES. You probably already knew that, but I figure I'd say something just in case.
RES is fantastic. Couldn't imagine using Reddit without now.
I truly cannot understand how anyone can use new reddit. It is worse by every metric.
At which point I will be off Reddit entirely
Same. I've already deleted my account. I use it to find info on niche stuff, if I cant find the info elsewhere.
That'll be my final day on Reddit. I already spend most of my time here.
It would have been the 3rd party app thing, but I exclusively use Reddit on my desktop at work. I got better things to do on weekends.
When they removed all is when I signed up on lemmy
Welcome new friend
Welcome to the N E XT LEV EL
everyone dons sunglasses. Technopunk music plays
And I removed all my posts from that platform and replaced them with random garbage. Fair trade
I read this as they learned it was far too difficult to moderate /all and that the easier thing corporate wise was just remove it.
This is the censorship - you can only see posts from subs they white list, or subs you already know about.
it's also for the purpose of targeting ads. Even if you don't have a reddit account the home page is still going to tailor the feed to subreddits you've visited in the past or your geo-location for example. this makes it easier for advertising.
simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization
AKA collect more data for advertisers.
It's to funnel users into propaganda bubbles and voids, making it harder for them to see alternate content and viewpoints. It's been pretty obvious with how aggressively they remove and discipline antifascist politics.
Also makes it easier to serve them personalised higher value ads.
Capitalizing it still works, r/All
Amateurs don't even use .toLower()
I'm on old reddit and I didn't know there was a difference between /r/all and /r/popular? Theres the subs you are subscribed to and then there is the trash main page. What is a home feed? Is that the front page with your subscriptions?
r/popular i feel you will get the more mainstream stuff, lik news, politics, the ones that filled with the usual propaganda and such. r/all you get that too, but also random subs.
Lemmy could use an /c/all community default. It’s a catchall for things that don’t have a dedicated community yet. It helps create posts and discussions.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
