you don't know half of it: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/09/reddit-will-block-ol...

I recommend using redlib to view links now that they gate old.reddit.com behind an account:

https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/ins...

It's still working for me in Chrome on Windows.

I never used old reddit when it was new. I sometimes end up on it from HN links. What is the difference, besides the UI?

To be clear: this is a genuine question and not an attempt to bait a flamewar. I honestly have no idea what the matter is. I have deliberately tried to avoid all social media other than HN for a very long time.
