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.
Aren’t you subscribed to this community? , 🤔
Oh! I am. If i recall, i moved to lemmy and subbed to this community when reddit went dark to keep in the loop on how the protests were going and if there had been any real impact on reddit overall. I guess i never unsubbed.
Either way, it doesn’t change anything i said.
If anything it juat raises the question of what the purpose of this community is. Is it reddit recon, is it a space to point and laugh at rhe choices reddit makes, or is it a place for those who can’t let go to cling to the past?
