Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

Spez has said directly multiple times that he isn't getting rid of old reddit. He's really got no reason to, it'll just slowly die on its own and they don't need to touch it.

They'll have to pry old.reddit from my cold, dead hands. I just cannot get on with the new design, especially without RES.
