Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com
arstechnica.com
Reddit says the beloved site is used for some "bad behavior."

As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

    I got banned from reddit after 11+ years (not entirely sure why). Never bothered to make a new account but did use old.reddit.com. That said, my reddit use has been dropping for months.

    I guess I’m forced to not use it now. LOL.

    Oh well.

      I got banned for writing that Ashley Babbit was a traitor and was rightfully shot for storming the US Capitol. She was a member of the US military and will fully participated in a violent unsuccessful coup that planned to kill the VP at the very least.
