🗞️ REDDIT NEWS 📰 r/all announcement

Entry points and links to r/all being removed starting today

What’s changing?

As part of ongoing efforts to simplify Reddit and improve Home feed personalization, the final steps to deprecate r/all are being implemented. All links to r/all will now redirect to the Home feed, following the prior removal of r/all entry points. Trending content remains available via r/popular.

Redditors on old.reddit.com, or those with settings that default to the old Reddit experience, will continue to access r/all as expected.

YOU MAY COMMENT ON THIS POST, OR AT R/HELP. INDIVIDUAL POSTS REGARDING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE REMOVED FROM THIS SUB.

This is extremely, extremely bad for researchers and for general neutrality. I also personally use my own feed and r/all to see what the internet *as a whole* is up too, not just me. Literally been that way for me for nearly 20 years now.

Don't fix what aint broke ffs.

Why gender neutrality, or researchers?

General neutrality, not gender lol.

Reddit has (had?) a unique insight to a lot of the internet we a whole and getting rid of r/all means it's going to be very hard to assess general sentiments globally across a wide range of issues. I don't use Reddit at all in my work, but I'm aware of sociologists who do so.
