Meh, /u/spez can ligma balls, I’ve logged out of my 16yo Reddit account. Lemmy is cozy, the users are mostly chill and there’s no ads except for the occasional spammers that are swiftly dealt with.
It’s kinda insane how much abuse we all tolerated that turned out to be totally unnecessary
Is RIF working again? No. Then nothing to here, moving along.
yup it comes back with this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/edit?pli=1
That new font is so ugly.
I do like the little chat bubbles in the letters d
Is that what they are? I didn’t see it. They look like ‘a’ (without the little cap) to me.
Also it’s struck me again just how hideous that underbite on the ‘e’ is.
I can deal with an ugly font, but thats straight-up unreadable.
The red background is a warning.
It looks like Snoo’s drunk uncle. What’s with the 5 o’clock shadow?
that’s a hell of a title 😅
It’s a Garden-path sentence
I started learning things on Lemmy, just like was on Reddit, which says we’re on the right track. Go Lemmy.
ngl, I had to read the article before I could parse it.
This makes more sense to my brain:
“Reddit updates branding 6 months after mass user protests ahead of rumoured IPO”
Anyway….
still looks like old reddit to me.
I for-real forgot that new reddit existed. I’ve stopped posting there but still read “all” periodically, and “old.reddit.com” is so ingrained that I was a little confused when they started talking about a new look, since I haven’t noticed anything…
On Firefox mobile it barely looks different… But what stood out was more bugs. Missing next page buttons and layout issues. So… Good job Reddit… LoL.
The new UI is more buggy
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Reddit also said the font has “large x-height for readability and disambiguated letterforms for rapid identification” and improved accessibility.
On Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that Reddit is “holding talks with potential investors” for a 2024 IPO filing.
The top comment on Acidtwist’s post announcing the branding refresh reads: “My love of old.reddit.com continues to grow.”
Another reply pokes fun at the Reddit marketing video shared that encourages people to “think of something you like or enjoy.”
And after Huffman reportedly warned employees to “be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public,” due to potential backlash in June, maybe a new look was necessary.
Advance Publications, which owns Ars Technica parent Condé Nast, is the largest shareholder in Reddit.
The original article contains 797 words, the summary contains 117 words. Saved 85%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Oh fuck off already. That was all Huffman.

My reddit account got banned anyway. I don’t even know for what, the comment they linked to was removed already. The ban appeal site was down too. So idc.
oh no!! I love Reddit!! Snoo is cute but the company must give a new refreshing start!!! And it’s ok if they don’t want to give the API, but they should be focused on making their apps open source and F-Droid compatible, that would make more users come to the platform.
Forget making it open source. There’s no other app or platform with so many dark patterns. Their web app is utter crap on mobile in an attempt to push users to the mobile app. The last thing we need is another social media company twisting the hands of its users. People should simply abandon that crapware.
ok, I respect your opinion but what Reddit needs most right now is a few complaints from a big company that will force them into making the app open source and the web app better.
Why would any other company complain?
I’m not sure but I hope something like that happens soon!!
