I got the new reddit UI - I think it’s horrible. How can I get back to the “middle UI”?

if Reddit cannot find anything for the website designers to do maybe they should just fire them rather than have them invent new ways to circumvent the geneva convention article 33.

Another post about awful redesign, and wondering how to prevent this spreading to my app?

    It’s really weird though, honestly.

    I mean a lot of bad UI exists, but this is bad even from a bad UI perspective because it doesn’t even do the things bad modern UI is usually known for. It’s just… it’s almost as if they asked an LLM to make a design, and this is pieced hacked together from learned designs with no understanding why each piece exists or does not exist in the design it was taken from.

    For example it uses post-designs that are meant for wide displays, but in a narrow one. It uses dual-sidebars, but doesn’t put them on the sides, it keeps extra whitespace on the outside even on normal formats. It tries to look mobile-ish, without recycling functional elements from the mobile layout, more just apeing its design.

    It’s bizarre.

      Definitely agree. It’s really weird in its own, unique way.

      Well, that’s Reddit today, unique in its weirdness.
