Reddit redesign is getting forced onto users without an opt-out option in c/[email protected]

I'm sure we'll start seeing stories/reels/shorts making a comeback as well, they just want to make it a copy of other social platforms indeed. Their brainrot knows only one thing - copy trends that make money. They had no clue what to do with reddit, and it's apparent in every decision they've made. RIP Aaron Swartz. He had such a different vision. Reddit team needs to be disbanded. It looks like that's the plan anyhow. Sell reddit and fuck everything off to whoever comes next.

Old is fine, and the 2nd redesign is currently at new.reddit.com (but it's possible it could be gone at some point).

Yeh try opening reddit in incognito w/o logging in. It's basically a mobile design, but now for desktop as well. They haven't even implemented Compact mode. It's unreal. Half of it is wasted space, and it looks so green. Baby vomit vibes.

You should be able to see it if you open reddit in incognito without logging in: https://reddit.com/

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.

I'm starting to think we agreed to a very bad deal. 🥹
