| Feb 20 at 21:07 | comment | added | Twineee The Dark Wizard | @MisterMiyagi If the features don't work, it's a backend thing. What I'm saying is to keep hosting this frontend, even if some features no longer work. | |
| Feb 20 at 20:28 | comment | added | Christoph Rackwitz | all the existing "userscripts" of SO will become meaningless because that will no longer be SO. it will be a golem in the shape of reddit. | |
| Feb 20 at 15:13 | comment | added | Hoid StaffMod | Old questions wouldn't be removed; they would still be accessible, and the UI would be updated with some tweaks, but they would remain. For feedback on improving the beta, it would go to the relevant teams working on it. | |

| Feb 20 at 11:01 | comment | added | MisterMiyagi | "why not keep hosting it …" Because they want to get rid of "certain curation workflows such as close votes" that are tied to UI support. | |
| Feb 20 at 4:37 | comment | added | Twineee The Dark Wizard | The only thing I think would actually be unusable would be the content more than the UI, since it will still function. | |
| Feb 20 at 3:34 | comment | added | wjandrea | @starball FWIW, old.reddit.com still works 8 years on, even if it's missing some features | |
| Feb 20 at 2:26 | comment | added | starball Mod | i imagine old.stackiverflow.com would pretty quickly become unusable | |
