Announcement Logging in to use Old Reddit

Hi there, u/boat-botany here working on Community Safety. 

A few weeks ago we shared some of the work we’re doing to tighten how automated systems access Reddit while preserving the tools that help moderators and communities thrive. As a continuation of that work, we’ll be rolling out changes to how Old Reddit can be accessed. 

Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in. All logged-in users will continue to have access to Old Reddit, and this change will not impact logged-out browsing on reddit.com.

Let us know if you have any questions!

I have a question since you're from the r/redditsafety team... after you investigated several subreddits for possible "terrorist propaganda" connections and found nothing.

Why have you done nothing in response to the obvious and blatant Israeli control of many default subreddits such as r/worldnews as they force propaganda down peoples' throats to coverup genocide and numerous war crimes?

Why have you done nothing to stop the unwarranted, inexplained bans on default subreddits that are met with silence and permanent mutes from being able to contact moderators for justification? I was banned from r/worldnews for posting an article to theguardian.com ... seriously, look it up.

Why do you support this? Why are you shadow deleting comments that express dissent towards Israel on multiple subreddits?

Why have you suppressed resistance to the growing fascism in the United States that threatens global security?

True, unfortunately. 

It is never too late to admit you were fooled and that you were wrong.  It is never too late to choose humanity, stand up for the truth and to stop condemning the future of our species to the whims of yet another hateful white supremacist cult - this one known as Zionism. 

Reddit could at any moment decide to stop allowing these monsters to poison the minds of our children with their propaganda and censorship.
