Reddit redesign is getting forced onto users without an opt-out option

Debrox@lemmy.world to Reddit@lemmy.world – 349 points –

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.

Call me when you all want to fix the very clearly worse problems Lemmy has.

See, the fun part is there is a place to track those issues and you are welcome to lend a hand fixing them instead of just complaining.

Or we can continue speaking out instead of allowing oversensitive idiots like you to get defensive at the mere mention that Lemmy is less than perfect.

This is your platform, not mine, after all.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were looking for a solution. I see now you just wanted to complain. Carry on.
