I don't use Reddit much. (I think it's structurally broken, easily the most astroturfed website on the internet, and weirdly uncivil in a passive-aggressive way.) The only good thing I'm inclined to say about it is that old.reddit.com is pretty well-designed for readability. Once they get rid of that, it's truly over, as the same definitely can't be said about "new Reddit." What I don't understand is why they'd go to such lengths to force that design when a huge fraction (perhaps an absolute majority) of users dislike it.

I should be able to control myself but, I'm kind of glad for the excuse to never go back there.

oh well, it was a good way to view nsfw without logging in (like the oldiran subreddit without gore that simply was against the Islamic regime). when reddit banned 3rd party apps, my productivity jumped. I guess it will go up a bit more after this
