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

Kristi Noem disagrees.
I miss reddit. Too bad it isn’t what it was. It has died.
You must have done something bizarre to your browser if Gmail logs you out every 5 minutes.
Really? So, Gmail account is a must? outlook.com/simplelogin alias not allowed?
Not only that but reddit isn’t allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.
What? So you can’t use any other email provider but Google to sign up for a Reddit account?
EDIT: I actually don’t think this is correct. I just went to the sign up page and it does have buttons to create an account using Google or Apple OAuth (I assume) but there is a field under those two buttons for just any email. Put in my Outlook.com email and it accepted it and went to the next page where I could create my user name and password.
OH and Gmail force logs you out after 5 minutes and forces you to phone verify.
No it does not.
You and everyone replying to you is wrong, the reddit sign up UI is misleading but it doesn’t require an email. You can just click “next” on the email prompt without entering anything.
ah my bad. You’re looking at the new reddit while the no-email trick only works on https://old.reddit.com. but it does work, i just double checked
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.
