What do you mean it's defunct?

I use old.reddit.com all the time.

If old.reddit.com goes, I'm done with reddit.

I might try out some kind of alternative front end from https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends#reddit though.

But if that's not good enough, I'm done.

It now only works if you're logged in.
Seems to work fine here?
It's on and off for me, it's like they are A/B testing non logged in users.
They are slow-rolling it by IP block.

I assume this is because their largely drooling, double-digit IQ community would revolt if they rolled it out overnight.

Ever seen what a riot in a maximum security prison looks like? Well it would be nothing like that. But there would be lots of complaining and boxed macaroni and cheese involved.

Bastards. I didn't notice.

Welp. I guess most people who are/were using it also had accounts.

Not true, I use Firefox focus to access it, so now I can't
That's news to me, I use old reddit com all the time
