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:

    Awesome and thank you. Yah I loved that UI and would love to enable it on my instance. Any idea on where to get the theme files for it? Thanks!

      If you allow me to do a bit of self-promotion: https://code.mschae23.de/mschae23/mlmym (this is my fork of the software running on old.lemmy.world).

      It’s a different frontend rather than just a theme, so it needs to be set up separately (similar to lemmy-ui). If you have any questions, feel free to ask me :)
