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

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 tried Fiverr a few times, especially after the Reddit changes. But i haven’t enjoyed my experiences so far. I’ve also tried deviant art and art station, but so far HungryArtists has been a great experience. Would love to have that on Lemmy.

    That’s why Meta and Xitter don’t let you do anything without being logged in. Fortunately that’s something Reddit still allows.

    Dear god, now that you say this I realize it’s just a matter of when. Why is enshittification so rampant?
