As of a few minutes ago old.reddit.com now seems to requre logging in to access it.
Shame as it was still the best place to browse for info about some niche interests.
Edit: Seems like they might be testing the change as it is hit or miss at the moment.
Edit: Adding this to My flilters in uBlock Origin seems to fix the issue for the time being:

Nice to see Reddit helping contribute to growth in the fediverse.
That’s what brought me here. And so far I am loving it. Wish I had made the switch long ago.
I’m on my second account, (got a new phone and couldn’t remember my password) but the nice thing is that it doesn’t affect anything because it doesn’t keep track of votes overall.
Your username is awesome! I nearly snorted coffee out my nose when I read it.
Haha, thanks! My old one was P00pTart.
I like poop jokes
I’m not sure we want a lot of the trolls here… Fortunately, I feel like they’d go to instances which lemmy world is de-federated from fortunately though
