Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com
arstechnica.com
Reddit says the beloved site is used for some "bad behavior."

As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.

Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.

Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.

Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

||reddit.com^$header=referer:

Edit: Best bet now is to use a proxy like safereddit.com.

    I’m not talking about on mobile, I mean I’m being locked out of new reddit even on desktop.

      I’ve seen this as well on dssktop. Over Reddit. Lemmy seems less bot ridden anyway
