old.reddit.com login redirects to www.reddit.com/login

I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.

The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.

More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

Some A/B testing or rollout going on, I'm guessing. Also, Reddit's an abusive ex, stop going back to them!

I still have one account there for /r/Lemmy and /r/RedditAlternatives when people try to discredit Lemmy

Well here’s even more reason to stop fucking using Reddit. Let the dead horse rot instead of continuing to beat it

Must be rough working at Reddit right now. At least I would feel like I wasn't doing much good in the world. Working hard to enshittify.

I miss reddit. Too bad it isn't what it was. It has died.

Not that I remotely ~want~ to defend reddit, but from a development standpoint it's much easier to maintain and secure a single login workflow. Whatever nonsense the new/old font ends require, it's probably much easier to make that work with a single unified token than it is to maintain both separately.

As long as the login remembers which frontend it came from, I wouldn't be too up in arms here. If it dumps you out to www/new.reddit then that's completely fucked and there's no excuse.

yeah, as long as old.reddit.com still untouched. it is bearable atm.

What I noticed lately is that I can't login on old.reddit when using a mobile browser.

I clicked your first link and it worked for me. It seemed to remember my having logged into Reddit at some point in the past. Although now that I've visited Reddit today, I feel dirty:-P.

If you are logged into reddit, you can just set the account preference to opt out of the redesign. No extension needed.

I thought they removed that recently... Could be wrong, though.

It's still an option for me on the desktop, not mobile site.

it must depend on your location cos I can still use it

same here. I can't log in with reddit (dot) com. I have to use old reddit - now I can't login at all

So?

I huffed air out of my nose imagining the smug self-satisfied grin you had on your face after you smashed submit on that zinger of a comment.

That’s the same thing I do whenever I see people whining about Reddit on lemmy.

Let it go. She doesn’t love you anymore.

You still using Reddit? lol. Zero sympathy.

Seems like a mature, measured response.

Imagine being them, subbed to a "Reddit" community on Lemmy, complaining about people who use reddit...

They're not exactly deep thinkers.
