along with the strong censoring that has occurred on reddit throughout the years, they have now removed r/all from the app and while using a desktop/laptop browser. instead of being able to stumble upon new subreddits you never knew existed, it wants to curate what you’re allowed to see
The problem with old.reddit is that it had this Damocles sword hanging over it for almost a decade - it could stop working any day. Plus, many subs don’t even cater to old.reddit anymore. It doesn’t just magically take over sidebar blurbs, this has to be done manually by mods. Etc. etc.
Well, thankfully we’re all here now.
reddit/spez probably knows the APP and the new UI is shit , probably why they havnt changed it yet. dont think they even improved the new one at all, if you are using it on your phone/tablet/
I’d be willing to guarantee that any Reddit employee uses the old interface when utilizing the site themselves.
they likely have a very small moderation staff, they let AI do all the “indiscriminate” banning. and its only the actual admins can unban people, which they ignore most appeals anyways.
