Reddit recently shut down old.reddit.com for users who don’t have an account. The new site barely works on my device and I couldn’t use it to browse the way that I did even if I wanted to. I’ve realized that at least 12 times a day (usually a lot more), I compulsively type old.reddit.com into my address bar just to see what is going on. I still do this out of muscle memory even though the URL has served a login wall for more than a week now. I don’t really care about the platform, but I’m worried about the impact it will have on my ability to find things via search. Starting in about 2018, when I would conduct a search on Google, I noticed that if I didn’t append site:reddit.com to the search, I would end up getting low-quality content from small businesses and other content mills that had no guarantee of being helpful. By the summer of 2025 I was also frequently appending before:2023 to reduce the amount of AI responses in comments. This kept Google reasonably usable for a time, but I don’t think it will last. Reddit has been open about wanting to pivot away from drive-by traffic (which can’t be as easily profiled) and towards Facebook’s walled garden model. Both sites have absolutely destroyed Google Images as the default assumption is that everyone already has an account and can view the content. I also archive a lot of content and have found Reddit, Instagram, and YouTube have all been clamping down on programs like yt-dlp in an effort to prevent content from being exfiltrated from their platforms. I’m aware of various alternative platforms but the issue there is that these platforms don’t have the historical archive of content (which stretches back 20+ years on Reddit), nor the userbase necessary to create one. I’ve found most are also extremely unlikely to ever take off, with poor design decisions that make them undesirable even for people who are already sold on the need for an alternative. The problem reminds me of how the logic of global supply chains was challenged in 2020; I had never had the experience of going to a store and expecting them to be out of something until then. Similarly, I’ve always lived in a world where my default assumption is that the information is out there and that you can access it for free; but what will the world look like when that is no longer the case?
What will happen after Reddit is gone? :

I have always wondered what would happen if one of the major sites did shutdown, completely, along with all mirrors and alts, and how that would effect other sites. Where people would migrate, and how they would adapt to different site cultures, and if they would have realizations that they were, in fact, in repressive hugboxes.
The day LibRedirect and RedReader stop working is the day I stop using that dogshit site.
I'm addicted to reddit. like many rs users I've deleted instagram and reddit is the only social media i frequent. like many rs users, my life will be better when I'm without reddit. it is also possible that I will go insane from the lack of feeling of community, however bastardised, that reddit provides. 50/50 chance. curious to see how it pans out

Sites like this one can’t scale. When I submitted this thread it didn’t appear right away, so someone is manually approving posts; that’s fine for readers, but if you want to submit a thread it will eventually mean anything you want to post is stuck in a large queue. Maybe people who are more cognizant of what they are reading will move to sites like this, and everyone else will end up in Facebook’s walled gardens.

Everyone thought geocities were lame and pathetic back in the 2000s. I can't imagine how bad it would be now.
I'm really intrigued by how the internet is going to shake out in light of reddit in particularly alienating so many people. I genuinely think we will se a return to fringe sites like this and personal websites. I think there'll be a wave of it being 'cool' to have your own website or be part of some weird forum.
100% relate to many of these sentiments.
I obviously abhor how much I have used compulsively and feel a vicarious sense of relation from the last few holdout interesting sites. I mourn having to consider ceding fully the internet, since a free and consumer friendly internet at least had the pretense of being able to mitigate some of the downsides to increasing technological dependence. I pray this site can hold out against the pulsing waves of nonsense.

They made entering an email mandatory but you can use e.g. [email protected] and it gets sent to nowhere. The account is created but you have to get approved to post. I only ever posted on a specific board so I don’t know if you can post elsewhere after hitting a karma threshold like you could before, but I have read that most boards just block unverified accounts because 90% of them are spammers.
You also can’t skip email verification anymore :(
I'm active in a forum tied to a paid subscription. The subreddit for it (nunya), which just got worse and worse to the point the official forum had to be made.
On one hand I wish the ongoing demise of the internet would hurry the fuck up so we could all leave it behind, but on the other hand it's all I have and I really don't want to be even lonelier. There's gotta be a middle ground somewhere.

I gave in and made an account to slopscroll rsp like the cuck I am. For whatever reason they've increased the karma requirements from three days to something more stringent so I can't post still, for the better I guess.

If you message the moderators on /r/redscarepod they will usually approve your account for posting in less than a day.
I'm using this as an opportunity to hopefully quit my reddit addiction for good. I've wasted a nauseating amount of my life on that hellsite.

I think this is gonna be a huge problem since it's increasingly soliciting information from the third world and other AI models. Wait until they give central Africa better internet, you're gonna see posts on medical subreddits about having demons and shit. You're gonna open ChatGPT and it will respond in Hinglish.
Ironically it gives me some hope because AI is completely dependent on the quality of the information it receives. So it'll probably force some sort of legislation or more investment into education. My hope is just for robust firewalls like China has.
Reddit is such a boon for datamining that idk if it'll truly ever die out, but it does feel like we're reaching an inflection point of the internet. Hopefully that means people end up in more boutique sites, but realistically it'll probably just mean more walled gardens and slop content; the only way things can realistically change is through regulation from somewhere like the EU, and they don't seem interested in anything particularly impactful or well-enforced — sites constantly break the GDPR cookie laws by making it impossible to opt out but no one cares.

I’m surprised reddit still allows archive.org to save posts since they announced they would block access last year. It only allows 10000 captures of the same site per day, but you can use old.reddit instead of the default www.
Once old reddit dies for good I will be free from that site. I wasted so much time on there for years, but now I only browse the rs subs since it’s the only place on there that feels like I’m talking to real people and not scrolling through the same 50 joke comments, but the rs subs have those too.
If you make an archive.org account and you link a google account to it, you can make a google sheet with up to 5000 links to archive. Then you can submit the sheets link to archive.org and it will archive all those links plus any outlinks for you. Look up “save page now google sheets”
For more archive related stuff check out archiveteam they have a lot of tools and resources for archiving things on the internet

As bad as reddit has become I still prefer it to discord. I don’t know how people can navigate it especially when it becomes a substitute for a forum for something like a video game community.
It is so tedious to scroll through tons of garbage posts to find what I’m looking for when searching, and that’s assuming the server join link still works, or some angry mod nuked the whole server over something stupid. So much information is hidden from search engines on these servers and they get abandoned too.
Discord is devastatingly bad, so harmful to technology that I think it might just be an intentional blow to information preservation and FOSS.

All the reddit restrictions are a boon for me. I've stopped using reddit on desktop, and on mobile the log-in/download pop up is getting more and more consistent. I might stop going all together. I did use redlib a couple times but hopefully they break that so I stop going on that shithole

Well, as of about three days ago, I can no longer even view Reddit posts without logging in on mobile. If they start locking down the old archives on desktop I won’t know what to do; I refuse to create an account on principle but it’s a huge knowledge base to lose access to. I’ve noticed in the last year Google Images has gone over to being almost all social media results with cropped low quality images behind a login wall; I thought this was just Google trying to promote recent content, but now I think there just might not be many sites allowing Google to index their images anymore. Cynically I think the tech companies are running ineffective scrapers on purpose to kill off independent sites by flooding them with traffic.

I have always wondered what would happen if one of the major sites did shutdown, completely, along with all mirrors and alts, and how that would effect other sites. Where people would migrate, and how they would adapt to different site cultures, and if they would have realizations that they were, in fact, in repressive hugboxes.
The redditors brainwashed by its psy-op'd front page will migrate to other major platforms and make those already bad platforms even worse.
A thousand alternatives exist, we go to websites because of their userbase activity not because of their infrastructure

rDrama.net could be good if they let you create a page of multiple 'holes' (basically like subreddits). Right now it's too low traffic to just browse one hole, but if you browse them all it's endless posts of links to reddit threads or idpol crashouts
(literally) 15y ago I would post on the forums of this website harmonycentral.com, it was for like such as guitar players, musicians etc. I would annoy everyone by posting about hiphop, it was pretty fun. there were trolls and boomer hair-metal guys, various antagonism; it was p fun, maybe we could go back to that somehow?
Probably just go outside, I still have tiktok but even that is something I’m becoming less uninterested in. in all serious though, I’ll be happy when that dogshit site called ‘reddit’ finally caved in and dies.

I struggle every day not to comment on my usual haunts on reddit and just lurk. My previous account got banned for seemingly nothing, but it seems to have been triggered by posting a lot and then rapidly deleting comments. This is something I do a lot out of habit but apparently is not kosher anymore. I'm afraid to comment and start shitposting in case I lose my account because it seems like this may be my very last window into being able to use old reddit properly (without entering the cat-and-mouse Nitter game, though I appreciate devs who push for a workaround). I had to block the comment box with the Ublock element remover. I feel like I've been silenced. It is honestly a deep sadness. I used to be such a prolific shitposter, now I am a pathetic quiet lump
Also, I suspect they will start banning lurking empty profiles too.

Seems to be some crap about age restrictions. On my previous banned account they "requested" ID verification to see profiles tagged with NSFW and yours was. I got around it by browsing from a non-EU address. How draconian.

Also also, I miss stalking Admin-sama's profile, it's been privated. My last parasocial friendship, gone with the wind ~
I didn't private my profile, please don't form a parasocial attachment to me though :p

Sounds like an incredibly lame place. I have fond memories of the original r/cumtown, pre-privating, even though I never listened to more than a few minutes of that podcast and generally dislike the show's lowbrow fanbase; and of r/drama, two places that made me laugh the most on reddit. I know it's irrelevant but I'm turning this into an impromptu memorial thread for the site that has sucked up so much of our collective time.
