There is also the problem that the formatting syntax is actually slightly different between old.reddit and new reddit, causing a number of broken messages when browsing with the old.reddit.

I absolutely detest that, specially since they have put a giant loginwall in the mobile version of the new reddit which basically forces me to use the old.reddit. These practices are basically what I expect from a shady website, not one of the most popular ones. Reddit is really detestable and I wish we could do something to stop it from acquiring users.
