I am super paranoid about losing old.reddit. When I saw the "you broke reddit" page, this was also my first thought.
There's an outage currently. 3rd-party mobile clients (RedReader, Stealth) also won't load.
>P.S. old.reddit.com isn't going anywhere, and explicit content is still allowed on Reddit as long as it abides by our content policy.
