Uhh, not on old.reddit.com, /u/whitehouse looks like any other Reddit shitposter.
I mean, I actually don’t mind not getting all the latest changes on old.reddit, such as not having to see awards, but the fact that they’re skipping so many feature updates makes me scared about how long old.reddit is sticking around…
