Reddit Welcomes Michael Seibel to Board of Directors

I am almost unwilling to advertise this, out of fear that they might disable it if it gains a lot of traffic.

But... reddit has older versions still online.

Desktop: old.reddit.com

Mobile: reddit.com/.compact

In fact you can just append the '.compact' to any reddit link on mobile and it will render it more sanely.

The day either of these features get disabled, is the day I will stop using the platform.

For now you can opt-out from redesign in reddit settings.

I leave this turned off just so their analytics show me bounce to old reddit every time I get the new one. Luckily I don't browse it enough for this to be a large inconvenience for me.

There's also browser extensions that will redirect all traffic to reddit.com to old.reddit.com, for those of you who want to browse the site in its ok-to-use form and not create an account.

old.reddit.com along with the RES plugin and an ad blocker almost make the site usable.

I have no idea how people use the new layout with a standard browser.
