Old.reddit.com no longer works for logged out users

  It's simple, if I can't access old.reddit without a login, then I don't access reddit at all.

  My money is it won't be long before old reddit is deprecated altogether.

    Likewise. I can't help but wonder how many people they're expecting to switch to enshittified reddit or to log in after this change. Maybe 1% will?

    I'm not installing a browser plugin. I'll just take a vacation until there's an xcancel-like solution.

      It's like just the old reddit accounts that use it, and they just don't care about us anymore. It's all about that ad money and tracking.

  Try using https://github.com/mkornreich/old_reddit to browse Reddit with the old reddit layout while logged out

    Works ok for browsing links, it’s not as nice as “old” but it’s okay - but the post comments are still the incoherent “new” design.

  So much for being anonymous and reading old.reddit.com?
