Reddit files to go public

IMO this has dual meaning. Of course, the (new reddit) UI is not my preference for sure. But the content on (not logged in) reddit.com is just so unbelievably different from what I see when logged in (to old.reddit.com). Therein lies the dumpster fire. I've had thumbnails disabled since forever ago, and picked a handful of subreddits across a couple of multireddits. I never really understood why people would think Reddit was anything like Facebook or any such similar site. Until one day I saw what it looked like to everyone else.

Reddit for me looks a lot like it looked back in ~2004, but with comments :)

Note: you don't have to be logged in to use https://old.reddit.com

All you have to do is learn to type "old" instead of "red" in the address bar, and your browser will do the rest.

Kind of like typing "n <Enter>" probably brings you here, and typing "p <Enter>" brings up, erm, Pinterest.

For the uninitiated, there's an extension to redirect to old Reddit:

I was curious. play.rust-lang.org here. Figures. "n" on the other hand, exactly where you'd expect.
