did you try reading it?
tl;dr There was some heated debate on who started a particular fight and whether or not doxing someone and trying to get them fired is an appropriate response to someone reporting an insult to an upstream.
But I agree with @beanman109, just read the Reddit post. It's not that long. None of it has to be taken as gospel; Everything there is just reporting on events that occurred in public that can be verified.
People with strong opinions are likely to come in and state their own opinions about who is in the wrong and who is in the right, but just read the post and decide for yourself based on the information provided so we don't have to rehash a 30 page argument. I won't state what side I'm on or give any of my own opinions for that reason.
Thanks for the reply! Honestly, it was kinda long lol, but I skimmed through it. I remember hearing people recommend MXroute on Let before — weirdly gives me that 'seems like a trusted buddy but turns out shady' vibe, haha, just a metaphor though. I'll go back and read it properly.
Also, curious — why do most folks prefer old Reddit over the new UI? What's your take?
I don't use Reddit very often, but it's more lightweight and it's easier to see multiple replies without clicking a million times. It's also more compact on the main page of each subreddit, showing far more threads in a single page.
It also works decently with JavaScript disabled, for those who prefer keeping JS off where possible.
That's an old news.
In the beginning, new UI had bugs so people used to revert to the old version for stability. Not the same case anymore.
People still often stay on it due to it being more lightweight, especially on PC.
At the risk of reopening the drama, I suspect the reddit thread was only created when certain facts were made known in the thread here and the OP started have an increasing number of people disagreeing with him, and so created the reddit thread where he could start with the same premise withholding all the facts that were disclosed here.
Even though the discussion is closed here, I'd recommend reading the thread here (if you're actually interested and you have enough patience) as it at least represents more diverse arguments.
Personally, I don't use reddit and don't have an account (mostly because I think it's usually even more of a cesspool than the worst of the threads here). If someone posts an old.reddit.com link, at least I can read what's posted without having to log in, so I guess that's probably the reason most do share links that way.

Reopen reopen..... We want to go through high and low emotions again.
Please no. We should respect the mods decisions to keep it closed. If people want to debate it further, it should be on the reddit thread.
Also, it's kind of pointless asking for a TLDR, as every TLDR given has an implicit bias towards one side or the other being right, mine included.
