The notifications are redirecting even Old Reddit users to WWW… not a good sign…

      I’ll bite I guess. I use Firefox with ublock to browse two niche communities. One is for the small city I live in which is relatively active and a very useful source of local news/events info. I’ll stop using reddit if I can’t use an ad blocker or if they make me use an app etc.

        Waterfox (water beats fire), AdNauseam (uBO fork that also clicks ads to mess up their tracking data), and NoScript (selective JavaScript-disabling per site) here!

      Because I don’t want to make another account just for an AutoHotkey discussion board, but /c/AutoHotkey is dead while /r/AutoHotkey is very much alive. The same can be said for so many other subs. Why else would one stay there?

    That’ll lose them some users, but they’ll truly seppuku themselves when they inevitably drop the porn.

    I deleted my account a long time ago but still visit on old.reddit. When they get rid of support for old.reddit I will finally just no longer visit because the modern formatting is completely non-navigable

      The only time I’m there is when I search for something and the answer happens to be a Reddit post/comment. I hope this will happen less and less often, but there is genuinely a good decade of knowledge in there. It’s not rare that a 7 years old Reddit comment solves my issue.

        It will be soon, and I agree but I think we will all be shocked how quickly the fediverse grows lots of niche communities. I don’t think the numbers will grow as fast as the amount of niche content either, because I think this will be a product of highly motivated people who come here specifically to recreate those niche communities and contributing to fleshing them out far more than a similar sized community would be on a corporate social network.
