var oldReddit  = window.location.protocol + "//" + "old.reddit.com" + window.location.pathname + window.location.search + window.location.hash;
window.location.replace (oldReddit);

Edited so it still allows image preview, because old.reddit' one is broken now.

Old Reddit blocks me because I use a vpn. You get a dumb ass message about it and can’t view anything.

Andromxda ,

Just use LibRedirect with Redlib

What happens if you replace "www" in the URL with "old"?

They might not have the block there

unconsciousvoidling ,

VPN will be blocked.

VPN?

Get you to download their app so they can harvest your user data.

trying to appeal to venture capitalists and investors by hiding the sketchy porn sites would be my guess, considering they got busted by cnn for underage stuff.

HiddenLychee ,

You can view this content in desktop mode, it's only on mobile outside the app that you can't view it

RandomGuy79 ,

Anymore it seems to be bots posting nonsense and mods banning anyone who isn't posting porn

bandario ,

I just woke up to my phone alarm pretty bleary and started randomly scrolling. Ended up in this thread below.

Even half asleep, none of this look like human comms to me. The whole thread is an advertisement, with undreds of unique participants.

suodrazah ,

Fuck Reddit, delete that shit and hope for Spez to get AIDS and cancer.

0x0 ,

Who cares?

XTL ,

People whose web searches turn up this.

All I'm gonna say is I've been using my banned account and I can still browse any sub.

I literally can't interact in any way but can still see every post.

pete_the_cat ,

I think what's even more annoying is when you actually do use the app, every community you visit, it pops up a notification that says "turn on notifications so you don't miss updates from this community!"

Oh no! Our poor sensitive little eyes might be offended by something we see! I need a nanny-state to go through everything I have access to so I don't get confused!

rdri ,

Love the absence of logic in these messages. Next time it'll be "pay $2 to continue" or "do a barrel roll to continue".

Shortstack ,

Drink a verification can to continue

do a barrel roll to continue

Reddit hasn't been that fun in a long time.

Sam_Bass ,

Shoving their di*ks up some things and down others

mexicancartel ,

Pro tip: add old. in the beggining of url. Reddit still has such answers for niche questions

psmgx ,

Still works for the NSFW stuff too

psycho_driver ,

There are browser plugins that do this for you, as well.

Andromxda ,

The only browser plugin you need for Reddit is LibRedirect to automatically redirect all Reddit links to a private frontend called Redlib

pete_the_cat ,

I'm going to guess enabling "desktop mode" in Chrome (idk if other browsers have it) would probably work as well, but would throw off the layout most likely.

jol ,

Yeah but old works like crap on mobile.

mexicancartel ,

Better than not working.

Also he just needs the info

Tlaloc_Temporal ,

Boost still works with some finagling with mods

kusivittula ,

or change reddit to safereddit

Andromxda ,

Or use LibRedirect to do it automatically

kusivittula ,

awesome, thanks stranger! i've been too lazy to make these in redirector

redcalcium ,

You can't access old.reddit.com with VPN these days. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit killed it soon.

Andromxda ,

You can't access the normal Reddit site behind a VPN either. The only solution is to use a private frontend like Redlib with LibRedirect, to automatically redirect all Reddit links to Redlib.

InvaderDJ ,

Old Reddit works for me, but I am logged into an account.

SymbioteSynapse ,

Just change your view to desktop viewer.

unreasonabro ,

no offense but who the fuck cares, you know what i mean? that shithole can enjoy the hell it has consigned itself to.

RedditWanderer ,

And like, why are people surprised it's only getting worse? Of course it is, we knew long ago the removal of 3rd party app was the beginning of the master plan to monetize our communities.

explodicle ,

They're surprised because they've already gotten used to the previous thing.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

the beginning of the master plan to monetize our communities.

I think it was closer to the middle of the plan.
