"permanently" for Conde Naste defined values of permanence.

Legacy mode will be phased out as soon as it has served their purpose of smoothing over the transition.

Or, it will be allowed to die of neglect, slowly becoming less and less compatible with the site until fully unusable.



And that's fine. I absolutely can't stand the new layout, so if that happens I'll stop using it. Probably not good for their metrics for a 13 year user of the service to stop using it I'd guess. I don't even block ads on it. And I sometimes click them if they're relevant (which, lets face it, they are these days).


11 for me and what used to be 30-60 minutes a day (I like certain subreddits /r/programming /r/chess /r/<proglang> Etc.) is maybe 15 and not at all for days now.

I miss old reddit, nothing else really fills the niche in a unified way.


So where do you go instead?

Reddit and Facebook both have some hold for me because of niche communities that they both let me aggregate/monitor/interact with easily, without going to a myriad of websites. I really don’t want to have to do that - in some cases, I’m not even sure I can find comparable replacements.



I fill that time by deliberately picking tech talks in a domain/language I know nothing about and watching them instead.

It is interesting because it's related to what I do but different enough to be fascinating.
