it’s 10-15%. if you moderate a sub you see where people come from
That's a lot lower than I expected. I can't stand the new UI. I guess most traffic is from people without accounts though.
You can have the old UI with the base site given the correct settings/cookies.

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.
This but also don't use any email previously associated with any account cause they will go and blacklist your new IP too.

FWIW, I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't comment on it. Just that in HN's "lore" saying that it's turning into reddit is a common theme. As to your comment itself, I don't think HN is degrading that fast? The low-quality "meme" responses usually get downvoted and while polarization is alive and well, most of it leads to interesting arguments so it's not necessarily a bad thing. I've only been here for 2-3 year…
I've been here 8+ years and I don't feel like it has changed much. It probably has in some way that hasn't been very noticeable to me. Just my personal observations.
I feel pretty strong about this. Usually, if I’m not convinced, I wouldn’t put it in such strong terms.
really happy for them, for a long while they were languishing with no growth whatsoever. Their monetization strategy is still really unclear/unproven but clearly some investors saw enough to go ahead and bet big. good for them.

they were spun off a while ago https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/31/reddit-just-raised-a-new-r...
* keep the old.Reddit.com design for everyone * spend 9 figures for a redesign The choice was obvious
Are they declaring themselves a web3 company ?
What does it mean to confidentially file for an IPO? Is this a common process before filing an S-1?
It means that the company has started the review process with the SEC. The company is going to go back and forth with the agency to make sure their filings, audits, disclosures, etc. are up to par before the company files publicly in a few months. Once the filing is public the company will wait for 15 days before launching their roadshow. And yes, this is how the process works with every company

Yup, agreed. I might use it on mobile, but on desktop "new" Reddit is such a massive degrade that i can't put up with it.
I use old reddit on mobile too. It's legitimately a better experience (just make sure to turn off the font size boosting feature of mobile Chrome which interacts poorly with the layout).
Half the comments in here boil down to "I would stop using Reddit if they discontinued old.reddit.com" and it really rubs me the wrong way. 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…
They've basically stopped adding new features to the old UI, so a lot of account settings require you to go to the new UI if you want to change them (and of course the most annoying settings typically default to "on" when the toggle is added). The markdown handling has also changed. That's why on old Reddit you'll sometimes see broken URLs with superfluous escape characters.
