Still work from my machine, but if it happens then that's the end of Reddit for me.

P.S.: To be more-specific, I was already betrayed once. A power-user since ~2007, enough discussion comments to fill literal books, invites to those lame "more than X karma" subreddits... and then one morning I was secretly shadowbanned, everything I'd ever made disappeared from public view--including others' replies.

Mystified, eventually found out what was going on and went to the appeals page. My appeal was granted... but nothing was actually repaired. No information in moderation logs, and if my post/comment was approved by moderators a mysterious force always switched it back later. Now the system claims I don't need to use the appeals page because the account is in good standing. Other routes of filing help tickets, nothing.

Seeking help, I made another account to try some of the help subreddits.... And then that one was killed too. The injustice rankles.

Maybe you've started using a VPN recently? Only time I'm login blocked.

Over Tor you can still access it without much fuss https://old.reddittorjg6rue252oqsxryoxengawnmo46qy4kyii5wtqn...

Just opened https://old.reddit.com/ in private Firefox on Windows and did not get a login wall. Able to click into comments and view links.

What platform are you using?

Yeah, welcome to the new age of advertising
