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:

Is Reddit still a thing? I wasn't aware?

I thought that it had evolved into a bot parliament.

Reddit is still a massive social media platform, it's corporatized and bot ridden but it's still huge.

There are whole generations of young people jumping on it only knowing it for what it is now and not what it was.

It's still a place to "anonymously" comment on and share media.

Lemmy is still a super niche nerd platform
