You're viewing a single thread.
I have over a decade on Reddit across several accounts and if I can't use Sync on Android or Apollo on iOS then I just wont even browse on mobile. They already killed i.reddit and compact, their browser experience is intentionally shit to try and get you to install their app.
If the day ever comes that old.reddit is shut down I will overwrite all of my comments and delete my account
I definitely think old.reddit is next in line. I wonder what bullshit they’ll spun up to get rid of it.
Probably some BS about "server costs" or "difficulty coding for both old and new reddit" or some other stock excuse.
The only reason it's there currently is because it's more efficient to navigate for the kind of people posting content. Maintaining two code bases sucks. So once the people posting content leave there will be no need for old Reddit.
I'm not sure where they're planning on getting content from (maybe bots circle jerking other bots using discounted APIs and scrapers? Does that look good on an advertising sheet?) but I wish them well.
AI shitposting, the dream.
u/spez claimed old.reddit isn't on the chopping block in his pathetic "AMA" thread, but we also know he's a liar.
Sync announced a shutdown as well.
I'm pissed, I've been using Sync for a decade.
