You may have just heard it from me first: I know a guy that knows a guy that says that the next upcoming self-inflicted injury on the Reddit site is an imminent removal of the “old.” prefix that has been used to un-fuck the interface and make it more bearably usable. They’re already bleeding out users, especially active content-creating users, so this will only accelerate evacuations of the carnival tents as the circus fire spreads.
It’s the only thing I like about the site because it reminds me of the Myspace days of web design. /r/DPRS needs to be over the top and I can’t make it so in the new stylesheet. The new one looks terrible, performs terribly, and includes so much bloat shit that hexbear immediately felt refreshing in its simplicity. I just wish I could have a Lemmy thing with custom CSS to transition that subreddit and maybe my content fortress.
