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:

    redreader still works without login. libreddit domain also works, just slow as hell for media.

    I’m sick of reddit. I’ve been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don’t get banned though

    They are also forcing it for regular reddit. I get a pop up and when closed you can’t scroll. There is even a thread about what to put in ublock to work around it.

    Reddit thinks they’re an exclusivity club nowadays. Love that mentality for them, just a platform full of bots, misinformation purposed for political polarization.

    They wouldn’t even let me delete my account last week, “errors occured” so I just uninstalled. Good riddance.

    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 .

    While I’ve been on Lemmy for a while, I haven’t really seen any hobby - centric or geek centric areas.

    I’ll miss the movie threads in particular, but there were a ton of active crafts, art & ttrpg threads to get inspiration from. Any suggestions?

      Idk about movies yet cause I’m new here as well but there’s quite a great community for books here. I’ve written two posts and one of them almost got 100 comments.

      I run a few small communities on the fediverse, and its tough trying to start one up. Granted I try to keep mine canadian focused, but its an uphill battle either way. I was never one to volunteer or be an admin of a community, but I wanted to get the ball rolling somehow. Very disheartening to realize I’m the only one posting in the community, esp because I’m just a lurker at heart.

    Completely unrelated question: any recommendations for a good porn feed, besides fedinsfw.app?

        I know that you meant this as a joke, but this is literally how online communities are built. One really dedicated nutter just keeps posting OC whether anyone else wants it or not, and slowly other people start adding stuff because it’s an active place.

        So, you go right ahead and you do you.

        Golden or otherwise?

        (Trying to come up with a good reason for multiple showers per day, unless you live somewhere hotter and more humid than Satan’s asshole)

          Not OC, but I’ll sometimes take 2 a day in the summer. I’m pretty oily. Showering in the morning is fine for my skin feelings through the day, but it means I’m oiliest overnight and my sheets will show it. If I shower before bed, I end up feeling uncomfortably greasy by dinner the next day. So, two showers keeps me feeling acceptable. Summers typically hover around 30C and 60%+ humidity for two months, on top of additional outdoor activities.

          Or, I guess, shortest alternative answer, I know several people that shower right after morning exercise and are otherwise night showerers.
