I used to use reddit with Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES), a browser add-on/extension that has tons of customizations. This was even before there was an old/new reddit, it was just reddit.

So it’s not that we chose to use “old” reddit, it was that we chose not to use “new” reddit. Going to the new design breaks RES and we would’ve missed out on all of those customizations and quality-of-life features that were missing without it.

Plus, “new” reddit is designed for doom-scrolling and serving adds, and not about promoting users to engage in dialog. Most of my reddit interaction was around niche content, where I actually dived deep into threads. New reddit got in the way of that.

For me it’s funeral potatoes, or half the desert dishes from various potlucks that would happen in the chapel gym.

Jokes on them though, all those recipes are posted online now! Don’t need a temple recommend for that shit lol.

Yeah that’s pretty fucked. Who uses a brass toothbrush?

13 Years, 300k+ karma. Haven’t been on reddit since Jun 30th, and I don’t plan on ever going back.

Ever since “new reddit”, I only ever used old.reddit with RES. The writing is on the wall, and old.reddit will soon be on the chopping block too.

Fuck the enshitification of reddit.

Good ol’ Frank “Franky” Frankson. Not many people know it, but he’s actually the nephew Jimmy Two Times.

That’s pretty daring of them to do, they’re risking their severance package by so publicly making their former employer look so bad. Oh wait…
