TL;DR To make messaging on Reddit faster and more reliable, we’re replacing Private Messages (PMs) with Reddit Chat and inbox notifications. This transition is necessary to maintain and improve Reddit’s messaging infrastructure. We aim to make these changes with minimal disruption while improving the user experience.
Timeline: Starting at the end of March, we’ll roll out these changes in phases over the next three months to ensure everything goes smoothly
im surprised they keep the legacy frontend around for this long. im sure its a matter of time before they kill it.
they probably know the legacy users/og users like us would bounce from reddit the moment they remove it? they havnt figure a way to introduce the shittier new UI in such a way that people will stay?
