What does HackerNews think of old-reddit-redirect?

Ensure Reddit always loads the old design

Language: JavaScript

There is no new format [1]. Just stop referring to reddit.com when you think about the site. Go to https://old.reddit.com, and redirect everyone you know to it. Use an extension to redirect when you're not logged in [2]. Also change your site preferences to keep the old version when you are logged in. Everything works as expected.

Side note: If anyone in your life says "I like New Reddit", you have now identified a fundamental point of difference in taste with that person. Use this information wisely.

Reddit needs to realize the asinine mistakes that they have made in this "redesign" that no one asked for. The moment they remove or screw with the old site in any way, I'm gone and never coming back.

1) Use the extension which always redirects you to old.reddit.com (https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect).

2) Only browse all.reddit.com, as there's no telling when a new subreddit will pop up that you'll enjoy.

3) Use the Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) to filter out any subreddits you see that you're not interested in. I currently have 3,557 subreddits blocked.

4) Create backups of your RES settings in case of disaster.

5) Use the ability to tag users as often as you deem necessary, and block the truly heinous users. You'll see those tags pop up often.
