For anyone wondering, you can still use it on mobile by changing the address to old.reddit.com in your mobile browser. So its still accessible on all mobile devices, just not on www.reddit.com.

They said they are going to kill .old soon

Have they actually said it? I've always assumed .old wouldn't be around forever. I'm sort of surprised it's lasted as long as it has.

Spez said that they don't have plans to shut down old.reddit.com anytime soon, so I guess July 31st is the last day.

A lot of people, myself included, would have left reddit a long time ago if it wasn't for .old. The new design is crippleware. The mobile experience even worse.

That would be like a sumo wrestler climbing on top of the current dumpster fire and taking a giant dump on it to add to the mess.

If they do kill off old.reddit then I think it's toast.
