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.

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

    Some A/B testing or rollout going on, I’m guessing. Also, Reddit’s an abusive ex, stop going back to them!

      They’ve now fixed/reverted it to the old operation.

      No doubt because of my scathing post here.

      “I don’t like the idiots running the encyclopedia company so I’m going to mock people who use encyclopedias”

      Seems like a mature, measured response.

        Imagine being them, subbed to a “Reddit” community on Lemmy, complaining about people who use reddit…

        They’re not exactly deep thinkers.

    Not only that but reddit isn’t allowing you to make new accounts as of today, without having a Gmail account first.

    OH and Gmail force logs you out after 5 minutes and forces you to phone verify.

        Yes it absolutely does. For me I try to make a new Gmail, it force logs me out after 5 minutes randomly and says please verify phone number.

          So then verify your phone number?

          Google doesn’t log me out after 5 minutes. Sounds like you’re doing something wrong.

        Yeah, I’ve been logged in for months before and I use a lot of privacy extensions. This person also seems to think emails and Gmail are the same word.

      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.
