MODERATORS
This is presumably because they've been boosting their anonymous agitator account with their profiles set to private, and there are tools out there that reveal said hidden comments like arctic-shift which I assume utilise old.reddit. They are trying so desperately to curate a rightwing majority narrative that simply isn't true.

I finally switched over. The changes to reddit mobile were awful, this broke the camel’s strained back.
Interesting thread linked in that article—mentions that usage has dropped on new reddit, but TPTB don’t care because they’re making bank on all the new ads.
What a piece of shit company
Their ad copy now says stuff like "join the realest place on the internet!" Pretty funny when more than half the users are bots or otherwise bad actors there to forum slide or otherwise build consensus
Reddit is a disinformation fusion center modded by types like Ghislane Maxwell, nothing more. Don't forget. Delete that cancer from your life
I'm not surprised, I was using it to visit NSFW subs for uh research recently in an incognito tab. It kept flagging me and not letting me in. Said I could log in if I think it's an error. Like MF, I am specifically not logged in on purpose.

what the fuck
Oh you know old.reddit its next.
I can still log in after my mass banning. So I get all the subs I like (not mains, hobbies), they get no ad revenue as I adblock everything. They just get a BS stat that I was there and they killed off my engagement stats because of the frivolous ban.
Its like they can't see they are driving towards a cliff.
Here is the thing, I don't think they are driving towards a cliff. In olden times, reddit was one of several options for doomscrolling, with Slashdot, Digg, et Al. When Digg shot themselves in the foot, Reddit was ready to take up the slack, so eternal September happened, and Digg essentially withered away.
At that time the combined user base of these sites was probably an order of magnitude less of present day reddit.
I believe that reddit has achieved critical mass, and they can pretty much do any shit they want. They may lose users, but they'll be a drop in the bucket.
The inertia is too large.
The inertia is too large.
Myspace, Digg and Slashbot thought that too. Look at FB basically a bot farm like reddit. Something new will come along, maybe its Lemmy, it was Voat for a second. Discord, IG, TikTac have all be chipping away at them.
They all will fall down if they over reach.
Not being combative, its just how this goes imo.

I guess this will break millions of search links built up over the years
ok then i go to frontends. if that also shuts down, then bye bye reddit.

I check Reddit like once a week since I started using Lemmy. I guess it will be down to nonce per week
