I can’t help but think this is the end for that site. It started off with a very old school minimalist designed forum vibe and has been devolving into dark patterns and advertisements as of late. I guess good things can’t stay free forever and the bills need to be paid somehow. Wish they went to a donation model like Wikipedia instead.
They didn’t learn.

> Reddit has been passed around more than a joint at a Grateful Dead concert.
Wouldn’t a joint being passed around get all consumed in less than one pass? This is Grateful Dead we’re talking about.
This is not good. The only reason I am still using Reddit is because of the old.reddit.com interface. Feels like an IPO will make them retire it at some point.
But they might of course try to shut them down as well.
It's like saying "Facebook will die if they start charging users to post to their wall".
Like, okay, sure. But Reddit has repeatedly said that they will not depreciate old.reddit.com. They have zero reason to, as many of their powerusers rely on it.
In fact, I don't think Reddit has a history of deprecating anything! Freaking. .compact is still around from god knows when!

Have your ISP cycle/release->renew your IP address. Don’t attempt to sign in to any of the previous accounts from the new IP. Should avoid their anti evil team’s tooling as long as you’re not causing trouble.
That's a whole other can of worms. I assumed that and asked ATT to do so and got the phone support equivalent of blank stares. I miss the old cable modem days where you could change the MAC address of the primary device attached to the ethernet port and force a new IP but not so with this Fiber ONT they gave me.
Reddit has me on some sort of ban that causes accounts to be permanently suspended within 24 hours of account creation regardless of what I do with that account, even if it's just make it and leave it alone. Also, anyone that comes to my home and connects to my wifi and then their reddit account will find their account permanently suspended within 24 hours. I've reached out to them multiple times to see what is happe…
Their anti-abuse is really bad. I once reported a serious doxxing with a death threat towards another user and after three weeks received a canned message saying something along the lines of 'Sorry, there's nothing we can do about the post. It will stay up.' This was circa 2019, when they already had a formalized 'anti-abuse' team. What exactly they do, I have no idea.

> The "new" UI they have is unusable, and may God have mercy for the poor souls that walk into it. This would be reasonable if there weren’t subreddits that are totally broken on old.reddit.com and proclaim loudly in their sidebar that they no longer support it.
You use custom CSS?!? Oh god it’s so awful. Turning that off is half the reason to be logged in.
