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:

Reddit has gotten really lame, there’s always been saddos who troll through entire post history’s when they can’t win an argument.
Lately they’ve changed stratagies to calling people underage instead hoping mods delete accounts or something I guess. It just comes across as absolutely pathetic to me.
But yeah Reddit is definitely breaking old.reddit on purpose and will probably be just mostly bots soon .
I have a theory that only shitstains complain about “people digging through post history”. Let’s put it to the test:
Well, there you have it. No wonder you don’t want people looking at your public post history. You’re in favor of using nuclear weapons against Argentina for a land dispute. Lmao. Theory confirmed.
Whoopty Doo
Every post history digger uses AI tools to summarize user posts and then picks something to attack them on.
Nah I do my own post history digging by hand. Usually only look when a user is being particularly ornery or an ass and then a post history look reveals whether they’re a troll or not.
On Reddit I mean. There are many tool for it like https://roastdit.kadoa.com/ especially used by right-wingers. (disclaimer I do not know what the exact tool they use is, probably not that one)
I meant on Reddit as well.
Some may use AI, but looking at post history is a long held tradition on social media sites.
