Reddit redesign is getting forced onto users without an opt-out option
Happened to me a few days ago, and I just can't believe how bad this redesign is!!
It's hard to comprehend what goes into the heads of that dev team, but they basically ruined everything nice about the platform. The API changes were pretty much a fatal shot already, but this new redesign seems to be what tipped the scales for me, and hopefully many more.
It's a great time to switch to Lemmy, and I think I'm going to make the effort to stick around and abandon the habit of opening reddit multiple times per day.
Do you think forcing this re-design will bring more people here? I'm hoping for that. Reddit betrayed us and I can't find it me to keep forgiving them for every horrible, anti-user decision.
I noticed in some moderator subreddit, that it is planned to kill new.reddit.com as well. Old will likely stay for longer, but new is what I got used to, and if they take it down I won't bother getting used to the newer, garbage UX.
You're viewing a single thread.
I kind of like it more than the current new redesign. It seems to make better use of horizontal space, it doesn't leave black bars. However, I haven't tried it on 16:9 screen, but a 20:9.
What I don't like is lack of Markdown editor. That new(2) editor is even wose than FancyPants editor of new(1). There's just three options: GIF (works), Image (worked after spamming it like 100 times) and "T" which is probably for text editing (doesn't work at all).Anyway, am I the only or does it feel like X?
Disclaimer: I haven't tried using it, I just checked it for 3 minutes now.
I like it too. I wish I could compare it to current reddit, but I can only access it through old interface. And the current reddit is is too addicting to me to justify working around it.
I kinda hate that I like the sh version cause it will tempt me to sink time there.
