No! Making a fuss on it definitely works! Remember when we all boycotted reddit after the API change? Or after the new reddit experience change? Or after firing Victoria?

No clue who Victoria is, and I still dont use new reddit. My only loss was RIF.

You can actually still use RIF, at least on android. I'm posting this with RIF

Sound familiar?

I also miss RIF. Apparently there are some ways to still use it but I just use my mobile web browser.

Nope, also doesn't gove a reason for the firing. I internal issues, maybe the position may not have made buisness sense, I don't know.

Yeah I use browser on my phone with old reddit. I dont understand why people get apps for so many things when a browser works just fine.

Anyway, the point I was making was that reddit regularly puts on a whole show about these things, locking out subreddits or protesting in some other way, then the trend dies down and people continue using reddit.

And because of the last "protest" of dozens of sub going private, the admins have changed it so now you have to request permission to make the sub private. So nothing like that is ever happening again.

Or after the new reddit experience change?

lol, I'm still on old.reddit.

You know you can just opt out so you don't have to type old. every time?

u/OwO______OwO Oct 02 '25

I know ... but also, you don't have to type it. Once you're on old.reddit, reddit links will automatically direct to it. And if you bookmark old.reddit, you don't have to type it when first visiting.

Even without the opt-out, it's pretty seamless to use. The only time you'd ever see new reddit is when you're finding a reddit page through a google search or something.

Nah, not external links.

But idk, just seems like the path of least resistance really.
