Hi there, u/boat-botany here working on Community Safety.
A few weeks ago we shared some of the work we’re doing to tighten how automated systems access Reddit while preserving the tools that help moderators and communities thrive. As a continuation of that work, we’ll be rolling out changes to how Old Reddit can be accessed.
Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in. All logged-in users will continue to have access to Old Reddit, and this change will not impact logged-out browsing on reddit.com.
I use old. and I still have a login but I purposely don’t use any of the engagement tools
I don’t upvoter or downvote and only very rarely reply to something, only on the rare occasion that it’s on a small scale sub where it’s the only place to chat up the subject on the Internet and it’s not Facebook
I only surf aitah and amitheasshole. It’s the bedtime stories I read to my wife for her to fall asleep to.
