Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

i wonder when they'll completely kill old.reddit

Working on it. A few weeks ago they added a new restriction: you can only use it while logged in.

They just made it so you can only use Old Reddit if you've used it within the past six months. If you ever go that long without visiting Old Reddit it's blocked forever for that account. New accounts can't use it at all.

Give it a year or two and they'll use the suddenly much smaller userbase as an excuse to finally kill it entirely.

And RES now uses new reddit. Damn.
