I think there might be another wave when old.reddit.com stops working, a number of people still access it that way, despite it not being well known by the modern reddit audience.

I'm kind of looking forward to that. I don't have an account there anymore, but I still check old.reddit.com because it's quick enough scan the homepage on my phone when I'm waiting on something. Dropping old would help me break that habit very easily.

Agreed, that band-aid needs to be ripped off, because the site is really dead anyway. (It only appears alive because of bots trolling for engagement.)

It really is bad. I ask myself why I even bother every time I look at it. Looking at r/popular now feels more like what looking at r/popular/rising/ used to be, mostly reposted garbage with only the occasional interesting topic, but even those I've usually already seen somewhere else.

Responding to like three of your comments at once. But I used RES since like 2010. Until June I, and I imagine many others, had zero idea what "vanilla" reddit even looked like.

But yes, I only do r/NFL because I haven't found that in fediverse yet. When I'm there and the muscle. Memory kicks in and I click the logo and go to the home it's... Bad....

I've popped in once or twice in the niche communities I used to do. There's activity, but it's stuff I would have called filler posts two years ago. Not bad just... Not good.
