I got the new reddit UI - I think it's horrible. How can I get back to the "middle UI"?

if Reddit cannot find anything for the website designers to do maybe they should just fire them rather than have them invent new ways to circumvent the geneva convention article 33.

Another post about awful redesign, and wondering how to prevent this spreading to my app?

I bet old.reddit is gonna be axed fairly soon. All signs point that way.

  • Killing the free API access and thereby putting most 3rd party apps out of commission
  • The expensive rebrand from pentagram
  • Reddit all but officially announcing they're going for the IPO finally (plans leaked to the press)
  • Unpopular redesign of the new reddit layout which I assume will push a group of folks back to old.reddit
  • ...

Also wouldn't surprise me if RES is killed off in the not too distant future.

Edit: wow that new redesign they just pushed is indeed pretty bad

I was discussing with a mod in comments today, apparently they got "guarantees that old.reddit would stay"

Didn't want to ask if those were the same guarantees than for the 3rd party apps, but I agree with you indeed.

Yeah big grain of salt with that promise.

One thing that stands out to me about old.reddit is that it allows you to browse NSFW subs without being signed in. I feel like that absolutely will not jive with their IPO, so something there is gonna change one way or another. Could be as simple as no longer allowing any non logged in users from browsing NSFW or more drastic like killing NSFW altogether or killing old.reddit.

Yep - it’s 100% getting nuked at some point for that reason alone.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@kbin.social 11 points 6 months ago

RES is already unsupported, if they get rid of old I don't see how it could continue to work past that

[-] s0ckpuppet@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah to be honest I couldn't recall whether it worked well or at all on new reddit because I never use new reddit. I do remember the RES devs basically saying they were all but walking away from the project some time last year and that any updates going forward were gonna be bare minimum.

Golly i guess ill go have a look

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
