I bet old.reddit doesn't last 3 more months at the rate things are going.

That would be it for me, I find the new format long on noise and short on signal.

I heard from a mod of a large sub that old.reddit is not going anywhere - apparently all of the admin tools are built on old.reddit, so shutting it down would not be feasible without a huge engineering effort.

Make it available to mods-only. That isn't hard.

Please don't give them ideas.

OTOH, I've already stopped posting and commenting and will only resume once they change their stance on moderation tools and third-party access. If old.reddit goes for good, I'll go as well.

I realized they are making it worse and worse to use for mobile, like the browser version barely works anymore on mobile, and sometimes forces you to go to the app :(
