Can't blame them for not wanting to develop for old Reddit.

Managing feature parity on multiple platforms is a massive pain and I imagine everyone or almost everyone who built old Reddit is gone by now.

Let's be honest, the new generation of Redditors knows nothing but the app and new.reddit. it won't be long before most mods are too, either by force or by replacement.

The comments and submissions have been purged as one final 'thank you' to reddit for being such a hostile platform towards developers, mods, and users.

Reddit as a company has slowly lost touch with what made it a great platform for so long. Some great features of reddit in 2023:

Killing 3rd party apps

Continuously rolling out features that negatively impact mods and users alike with no warning or consideration of feedback

Hosting hateful communities and users

Poor communication and a long history of not following through with promised improvements

Complete lack of respect for the hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours put into keeping their site running
