Do I have to login to use Lemmy? No, no I do not.

Oh no! Anyway…

@radiofreebc@lemmy.world 2026-07-01 03:28
I’ve been banned so many times there’s no point in even visiting that site anymore.

I’ve been using RedReader to view the 2-3 subreddits that don’t have an equivalent here on Lemmy. Hope those still work…

Darn. Old Reddit is the last way to access NSFW subreddits without logging into Reddit.

What’s Reddit?

When they close old.reddit will be the best time to advertise the lemmy instances that use that similar looking theme by default

Oh you know old.reddit its next. Oh and I can still log in after my mass banning. So I get all the subs I like (not mains, hobbies), they get no ad revenue as I adblock everything. They just get a BS stat that I was there and they killed off my engagement stats because of the frivolous ban. Its like they can see they are driving towards a cliff.

abusive scraping As opposed to the plain old scraping they do to train AI, and generate revenue by selling user comments for others to train AI. I read a half-cocked internet theory that a certain someone might’ve purchased twitter just to gain access to an ex-gf’s personal tweets. I judged it as possible but unlikely, as that’s a lot of money to spend on such a thing. Now, we’ve all heard stories about reddit blocking accounts for no published reason, and tracking folks down across accounts/IP addresses/etc. That code must be pretty expansive to do the things they’ve done. So one has the thought: if you’ve ever reached out to the reddit hive mind for some kind of support with a personal issue of any kind then that data about you is still floating around in their database and tied to whatever alternate accounts you have, even if it was the “good old days” when you did it. Abusive scraping, my ass.

If I ever browsed Reddit that was the only method I used. Guess I’ll just not use it at all

Perfect timing. Today i received a mail that in a few weeks i have to verfiy my age. So now i have two reasons to delete the account.

You can still visit - and scrape - the new Reddit without logging in, so the scraping is obviously just an excuse for what everyone saw coming from the start: the gradual complete shutdown of old Reddit.

Hopefully this will be the push I need to quit Reddit.

My browser clears all cookies from Reddit when I close it down. And every time I go to the new Reddit site, it auto logs me in with my Google account. In some other sites there’s the annoying “log in with google account” popup at the top; it doesn’t do anything if you don’t click to log in. But Reddit doesn’t ask. Just says: “Logging you in” and you can click cancel if you’re fast enough. They even auto create you an account if they do this for the first time. Awhile ago they were also experimenting forcing mobile users to use the app And now they’re also rolling out age verification in the EU (just got an email yesterday). One of the ways to verify your age is with Persona which Discord also tried to use and got a lot of backslash.

It stull punishes new users just trying to comment. It is a garrrrbage!

What a sad day. The platform that exposed me to overseas opinions. 🫡

@hansolo@lemmy.today 2026-07-01 14:55
Ooof, is Redlib going to crash out then?
-
@MasterOfProton@lemmy.zip 2026-07-02 05:49
No need Reddit, in the moment to verify my ID, delete Reddit.
-
@webkitten@piefed.social 2026-07-02 04:03
So basically every link in Google will be login gated now?

@laurenceOfSuburbia@lemmy.world 2026-07-01 20:25
Go into your reddit accounts and advocate for lemmy

@HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 2026-07-01 16:46
Evidently not enough people left Reddit due to their last enshittification measure, so the enshittification will continue.

@Gsus4@mander.xyz 2026-07-01 20:19
ok, just add this to your duckduckgo searches: -reddit 😉👌 done

@jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2026-07-01 16:03
old.reddit is the only way I use it. this goes away, I delete my account. The support forums like r/stopdrinking and r/CPTSD have been lifesavers for me, but reddit just keeps finding new ways to be terrible. RIP Aaron Swartz

@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2026-07-01 15:54
Stop Using the Bad Site. Just stop doing it.
-
@GutterRat42@lemmy.world 2026-07-01 15:20
I check Reddit like once a week since I started using Lemmy. I guess it will be down to nonce per week
-
@WanderWisley@lemmy.world 2026-07-02 06:14
Enshitifcation everywhere!
-
@Landless2029@lemmy.world 2026-07-01 14:21
Gotta hand it to Reddit though. Somehow they keep coming up with ways to piss off more people.
-
@Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2026-07-01 13:15
surprised they still have old.reddt available. before i got kicked out they were planning on shutting it down to force everyone onto the new shit. made my ban less painful
-
@DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 2026-07-01 10:21
Remember to scramble all your posts before you leave if you're still in that shithole. Redact works if you're having trouble finding something to use.

@muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2026-07-03 05:34
Oh? Guess what I require old.reddit.com to do?
