Old.reddit.com and Reddit Enhancement Suite.

Keep that puppy going as long as possible all the "improvements" they've made to reddit don't get passed along keeping it clean and efficient.

it is a 900% better experience that the current nu reddit layout.

I, and many people like me, will absolutely drop reddit when they finally break old reddit. The new shit is unusable by comparison.

Yep. This is my final red line. Old reddit is the only thing that keeps the site usable.

Is there any better place where nerds go? Maybe where the average age is above 14 and I don't have to read "bro. bro bro. BROOOO" in every thread?

Sadly, not that I'm really aware of. There's the fediverse, but it's still pretty awkward to use (at least for me) and lacks a lot of the hyper-niche small communities served by subreddits that I love.

If reddit goes too far we may see a mass migration, but there aren't a lot of promising competitors waiting in the wings currently.

If you are after articles, Substack has some decent stuff worth following, but you have to go find stuff to subscribe to specifically and there is still a lot of trash. The beginnings of a decent platform exist, however.

Substack doesn't let you filter out paid content. Halfway through an article - bam - paywall. And every individual blogger wants 4.99+ a month.
