    Wow. They want me to install the app to read this.

      Same with any NSFW content. Lame

      I ended up creating a new account with a throwaway email because my old accounts got banned

        Since deleting my account on July 2, I just don’t care enough about Reddit to create a burner account or download their app.

        No need for an account, you can still use old.reddit.com for the rare occasion you need to read something. If you’re on mobile, append .i to the end of the old Reddit URL (but before ? if there is one).

          Woah I didn’t know about the .i thing. Do you know what it’s meant for?

            Sadly no. IIRC that used to be the “compact” view (available with .compact at the end), which also opened other links in the compact view. But that got removed half a year ago, and only .i is left as of now.

              Legetimately that was so frustrating for them to kill off, I thought it so novel to browse compact Reddit on an iOS 6 device.

        They’ll ban your new account too once you post something.

        With the stealth app available on f-droid you can view all content without an account.

        Its what i use for occasionally reddit browsing and viewing nsfw content on there.

        Spez said they’re not killing Old Reddit, but he also said they weren’t going to pull an Elon either.
