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.

    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.
