As part of ongoing efforts to simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization, the final steps to deprecate r/all are being implemented. All links to r/all will now redirect to the Home feed, following the prior removal of r/all entry points. Trending content remains available via r/popular.
Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.
Last I checked, old.reddit had about 2% of the users. So yeah, it’ll be shut down whenever they get around to it, I’d imagine. Whenever they add something that breaks it, it’ll be gone.
i think people are unaware of the old reddit interface, they just went with the doomscrolling UI like with facebook, instagram,etc.
Yeah I think that’s the thing, they haven’t done anything to/with it. Once they do something that doesn’t work on it, they’ll go “oh deary me. Welp, better put it out of its misery” and shut it down.
Before I gave up on reddit completely, I was getting lots of 429 errors. Although asking around, some were, some weren’t. Still not sure they weren’t targeting me - apparently I hit their radar and they ban my accounts whenever they figure out it’s me (I just want to mod in my local subreddit, I’ve slowly disengaged from everything else). heh
They target me for violations that are not violations, used to be I could get 3 months out of an account before a second violation, my last new one I got a violation within the first week for something that wasn’t even close. This is like the us administration pressuring them. Betcha.
they banned me for violations on my “other accounts.”
I don’t have any other accounts.
you know when they give you that message, its thier AI just autobanning and just send an automatic message to your qaccount.
Also what likely happen as well, i found out in another forum, is they lump accounts together in a sub and banned them in bulk(and attribute all these account as similar, same users)
😠😠 (scowling at reddit, not at you)
Unlike other countries we do not have any legal rights to fair enforcement of the rules, so they do not bother. What we do have, is the government telling them to fuck users that piss off them and their pals for other reasons. Israel obviously but others as well.
Silicon Valley is a rigged game, they are parasites,
well, it’s a private platform; their sandbox, their rules. It would be nice if they could enforce them equitably, though.
What the fuck are you talking about? We should have rights to fair enforcement of rules in Social media, which should be regulated as utility.
Well, sure, but reddit (and FB, and Insta, and discord, and bluesky and mastadon and twitter and just about everything else out there, probably including Lemmy) are privately owned. Their sandboxes. Now, something like IRC or Usenet (which I still miss) is another matter.
I gave up on it when I got suspended for the 4th time in half a year. I had been using it since 2009-10 or there abouts. Never had any issues. Then about 18 months ago I started to get 3 day suspensions for the most tame shit. I appealed all of them, every single one that was checked by a human was reverted. Then the last one I had, I appealed, didn’t hear anything from them. So I waited the 3 day suspension run its course, sent a few messages I wanted to send and deleted my account.
Similar here except I went from a warning to a full ban the last two accounts. And for a little while there, when they banned one account, I got a half dozen bans on multis I’d created years ago for some stupid joke and hadn’t used since I created them. heh.
They just really have decided they don’t want the older users around, I guess.
same here, somehow they attribute your current bans that expired and they lifted as ban evasion, and then banned all counts that participated in a sub, they think you were banned it.
ALso its been reported they ban newly created accounts too, and old inactive accounts. i was on another forum how you need to go through a"ridiculous" process of warming up the account."
I’m on Windows and got a browser running under WSL and so far, that seems to have worked, along with me using the account extremely minimally. lol
If they have some reason to not like older users that would make sense with my experience. I had like 100,000 comment karma over the last ~13 years. Last month I posted something like “the only way he (trump) is leaving is if 100,000 people drag him out” and got immediately sitewide banned with no warning, appeal denied. That was about the harshest thing I ever posted, 99.99% of my comments and posts were neutral or positive and they could see that clearly from my comment history. I wasn’t there to be mean.
thier AI were looking any thing “pro-trump, anti-trump, anti-israel”. also they dont bother fixing thier bot detection.
That’s about the level of thing that caused me a coupld of my bans, so sounds about right.
When corporations get involved things almost always get worse.
definitely. Going public helped the shareholders, not the users.
Huh, that’s weird that I basically got away with that. I used to switch to a new account every 6 months or so. It started when some weirdo started to follow me and commenting on every single comment I made. I think it was in 2013-14 somewhere around then. Ever since then, I threw away one to two accounts per year. The past few years it was more like every month or two. I was very active in /r/Formula1, they had 1 month time limit on new accounts, so once I was allowed to comment there, I’d throw away the old account. At times I used multiple accounts at the same time, one got suspended, I just logged into another. I know it was ban evasion or whatever, though it started as a way to keep the weirdos at bay.
Anyway, I never got burned because of that. I guess I wasn’t bad enough to be on their radar.
i did that too, spread out the accounts so one gets banned the others dont. eventually they caught up with people doing that.
I as well had people following me around, but also seeming influence agents overly familiar with me, talking down to me like they knew my personal details, which they should not have been able to know, but they might have because of Israel and corporate bullshit. Fuck Reddit. As I saw on a username here, better dead than reddit.
Eww thats creepy as hell
You were a frickin’ saint, because the things I did were either stupid (to call infractions) or really minor. lol.
Or you were lucky or I was unlucky. heh.
That’s what finally has let me let reddit go - so many subreddits have a thing now where you have to have karma in threads that haven’t hit /r/all yet before you can comment, and that takes time and effort when I just browse /r/all. heh.
Probably bit of both.
Yeah thats one of the stupidest things. I get the time limit, but the karma requirement is just stupid. Why do I need to go talk in places I’m not interested in talking, with people who I don’t care for, if I want to make a comment about stuff that actually interests me. Such a weird thing.
But anyhow, its finally over and lemmy and other places are so much better lol. At least here the top 90% of comments arent the same reddit jokes and the users don’t start insulting you when you ask a perfectly legitimate question.
Because Lemmy is slower!
hehe, kidding
I am doing my part to change that, mind. (hopefully not really) :)
I dont know about that one chief, on lemmy it defo depends on the question/topic Ive noticed lol
