Only the new Reddit, old.reddit.com still works for that too.

Though I'm not sure how long that'll last. I would be surprised if old.reddit.com is still functional in a couple of years. When it gets removed, or when it bit rots to the point that it's no longer really feasible to use it, I'm off that site. New Reddit doesn't work for me.

I knew reddit was in its terminal phase when I started seeing FarmVille-style ads for some stupid reddit homegrown minigame in the top right of new reddit

They're slowly boiling the frog, I've been expecting old. to work for maybe 1-2 more years then it'll also be going away.

Probably in the same way as they're actively removing r/all, at first it just didn't show up in the sidebar on mobile, but you could go to r/all manually by clicking links in the client. Then those stopped working, but r/All (uppercase A) worked. Then that went away. By now I think it's impossible to see r/all at all in the mobile client or the modern website, you can only access it via old.reddit.com.

No, they've just enabled it for old.reddit.com as well.

> BTW Reddit is now verifying your ID with Persona before you can open anything it thinks is NSFW.

I think this may depend on your country, I've never seen this (Spain), not on the new website nor old.reddit.com or anywhere else, NSFW or not.

Yes this is a blame-your-politicians situation more than anything else.

Not when I open it from a web browser without being logged in. It just ask if I'm 18 and if I click yes, it lets me see the post (including images).

What’s strange is that they’ll try to verify with Persona even after Apple has shared an age range with them.

If you trust Apple, why verify with Persona above that? If you don’t trust Apple, why bother integrating the Apple age check? The answer must be something silly like “we did it because Apple asked us to but we don’t trust what Apple tells us because we’re not sure if it’s compliant”.

It’s too bad, because I trust Apple with my data way more than Reddit and infinitely more than Persona. I hope Reddit comes to their senses because I’m never giving my data to Persona.

The more obvious answer is that they get different marketing signals from the two companies' offerings and want both.

This is right up there with amazon changing imdb.com, so that you need to actually be logged in to read any of the reviews on a movie.

I see that and I instantly go to rotten tomatoes, pure idiocy, pure stupid. You can just tell when those in charge, never ever dog food.

And now letterboxed is eating their lunch.
