Sounds like something you would do if you were about to remove a very popular feature like old reddit in the coming months.
Yeah… something big must be coming and they’re gearing up for it.
“communities should honor the expectations they set”
Oh, really?
Too bad Reddit executives don’t feel that way about their own website.
The only site wide protest that counts is not to use it
It’s what I did and I haven’t missed it
Enshitificication of Reddit continues!
The beatings will continue until community morale increases… and of course: profits.
Every day the Fediverse just gets that much better than r*ddit
Fuck /u/Spez
Sorry; the above is mandatory these days when talking about enshittified reddit.
I’d say it very strongly looks like Spez is doing exactly what it looks like. I can attest from my days as a meta-subreddit-mod and reddit mod that this behavior tracks exactly with any time Spez thinks he’s planning an unpopular change; they pucker up hard and start bracing things they think will be affected.
Probably, it is Old.Reddit; because it likely does not add to their revenue. Old.reddit interface was not designed with advertising in mind and it is purely functional first only.
Of course; by editing or removing old.reddit interfaces; they will be lobotomizing their moderation teams. The new reddit interface provides far less control and granular information; making it difficult at times to moderate without falling back to the old.reddit interface.
Undoubtedly they will likely also try to freeze, disable, or cripple AutoModerator /config/ pages, if they haven’t already, or revert them as well when this new enshittification masquerading as a “small positive change” drops. It’s hard to say.
Instead of recognizing their moderators as major stakeholders who have chosen to build their communities on reddit; they have chosen violence, and are treating them like enslaved serfs. Hmm…I wonder if that means they could possibly be breaking modern slavery laws… Until Next Time!

Fuck /u/Spez
Leave reddit now.
<3 Melody.
I wonder what they are planning that they think will piss everyone off.
Don’t use Reddit unless you lick boots
Well they don’t want to hurt the feelings of the nazis they protect. Keep reminding them that 400 thousand Americans died in WW2 to give us the right to punch nazis in the face.
bots are gonna be very disappointed
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, and again, and again and again.
Good riddance, Reddit.
GOOD riddance, Reddit.
Good RIDDANCE, Reddit.
Good riddance, REDDIT.
GOOD RIDDANCE, REDDIT.
Adding insult to injury, Reddit recently struck gold by licensing its content to train AI models.
Oh, that’ll be fun, considering how much of the content on Reddit is simply bots making reposts.
I’ve already torched my entire comment history there. Fuck reddit.
stop using it
Ok, done. Now what?
nothing else, you are already winning
