So they don't use any ß at all? How odd... O_o

Nope, the exact opposite is true.
Before: ss if the two s fall into different syllables (Mes-ser), else ß.
After: You must now also see if the vowel before is long. If yes, you still
have to use it. To most people this is too much hassle, so they just ignore
this and intentionally misspell the words because they can't be bothered.
