old.reddit.com login redirects to www.reddit.com/login
old.reddit.com login redirects to www.reddit.com/login
I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.
The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.
More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.
Some A/B testing or rollout going on, I'm guessing. Also, Reddit's an abusive ex, stop going back to them!

Well here’s even more reason to stop fucking using Reddit. Let the dead horse rot instead of continuing to beat it

Must be rough working at Reddit right now. At least I would feel like I wasn't doing much good in the world. Working hard to enshittify.

I miss reddit. Too bad it isn't what it was. It has died.
21 0 ReplyNot that I remotely want to defend reddit, but from a development standpoint it's much easier to maintain and secure a single login workflow. Whatever nonsense the new/old font ends require, it's probably much easier to make that work with a single unified token than it is to maintain both separately.
As long as the login remembers which frontend it came from, I wouldn't be too up in arms here. If it dumps you out to www/new.reddit then that's completely fucked and there's no excuse.
14 2 Replyyeah, as long as old.reddit.com still untouched. it is bearable atm.

I clicked your first link and it worked for me. It seemed to remember my having logged into Reddit at some point in the past. Although now that I've visited Reddit today, I feel dirty:-P.
4 0 ReplyIf you are logged into reddit, you can just set the account preference to opt out of the redesign. No extension needed.
3 0 ReplyI thought they removed that recently... Could be wrong, though.

Seems like a mature, measured response.
7 1 ReplyImagine being them, subbed to a "Reddit" community on Lemmy, complaining about people who use reddit...
They're not exactly deep thinkers.
