Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com
arstechnica.com
Reddit says the beloved site is used for some "bad behavior."

As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

    Reddit has gotten really lame, there’s always been saddos who troll through entire post history’s when they can’t win an argument.

    Lately they’ve changed stratagies to calling people underage instead hoping mods delete accounts or something I guess. It just comes across as absolutely pathetic to me.

    But yeah Reddit is definitely breaking old.reddit on purpose and will probably be just mostly bots soon .

      I have a theory that only shitstains complain about “people digging through post history”. Let’s put it to the test:

      Being from the UK I actually support Nuking them if they try it again, the Falklands are all British Citizens and they voted on it fairly, let them revote if they like.

      Well, there you have it. No wonder you don’t want people looking at your public post history. You’re in favor of using nuclear weapons against Argentina for a land dispute. Lmao. Theory confirmed.
