It’s amazing how much worse the new redesign is. I’m not usually a “new is bad” kind of guy but it’s just way less functional. Apparently a majority of people use it at this point though, and I guess “new” is relative here.

It depends on what you’re trying to achieve with it. If you’re consuming, scrolling through content and memes and such but mostly not dwelling on things, the new one is way better than the old one. But if you’re using it as forums (announcements, discussions, that kind of thing—e.g. /r/rust for me), the new one is hopelessly bad, and the old one is rather good. Reddit is clearly not at all interested in the latter class any more.

Only a matter of time until old.Reddit goes away too

They sort of promised it wouldn't and I believe them. I would be willing to bet that in 5 years old.reddit.com still exists
