Reddit's currently working on a UI/UX update for moderators on new.reddit (or newnew reddit as I like to call it since it's technically a second redesign) with an ETA of early 2024 [1]. According to them last year, 4% of users use old.reddit but carry out 60% of all moderating actions [2].
My guess is once that rolls out, they'll be ready to retire old.reddit.
The UI will live on though. There's mlmym [3] that allows you to use the interface on Lemmy. The instance of Lemmy I use has it on https://old.lemmy.world
It hardly matters that the cert is expired if you're not logging in. Contrary to popular belief, TLS is not beneficial for sites where you aren't sharing secret data.
Injecting malicious scripts, malicious links, spam, advertising, misinformation, or other harmful content such that it appears to the user to have been served from a trusted domain.
Can't a "trusted" domain itself, i.e. one with a non-expired cert, do all that shit just as well as a "non-trusted" one? AIUI, the cert only confirms that you are who you say you are, not that you're a good guy. I mean,are you saying Facebook doesn't have a cert, or that it doesn't have spam and advertising?
It's beneficial for all the other sites if non-secret data is TLS-encrypted, though. If I want to ban secrets, and HTTPS is only used for secrets, I can just ban TLS; but if HTTPS is used for most of the web, I have to ban most of the web (and such a ban will never last long).
Additionally, metadata such as browser history can reasonably be considered a secret: TLS helps protect that somewhat.
