Reddit looks so clean now ig new design

I prefer the old design because it shows me how many updoots I got

That sure is a lot of wasted space

>>107071058 (OP)
This new design sucks ass
Who cares

not seeing it but whatever old.reddit has the same 00s design style as 4chan catalog which packs as much information on the screen as possible and as little irrelevant garbage. For some reason the metrosexual front end devs dropped this style in the early 2010s

>>107071058 (OP)
Great, go back.

>>107071157
>For some reason
Because it leaves limited space for ads. All modern website designs are about maximizing ad space.

>>107071058 (OP)
whenever someone uses the word "clean" for design i want to kill whoever said it
also this new acronym "ig" for i guess. it reads so gay and lazy.

I love reddit to be desu~ neh with ya'll

I don't like it, the new redesign makes it hard for me to moderate my subreddits

>>107071058 (OP)
>le rounded corners for babby proofing your posting experience

>>107071429
Just turn off all new posts and pin a post saying
>moderatin' be hard n shit
But be sure to fast track approve any posts about district court judges being the heroes we deserve.

>>107071481
Grow up.

>>107071058 (OP)
Go back.

>>107071753
i am, i don't need rounded corners for my protection :^)

>>107071058 (OP)
Look at all that dead space on the sides.

>>107071753
Take your AI horseshit and shove it up your ass, dothead.

Long lines of text are bad for readability. It's one of the main reasons a lot of sites limit content width. Optimal line length is only like 50 - 80 characters. With 16:9 and wider screen and most people use browsers in full screen you'd get shit websites in terms of usability if you didn't limit content width. Of course as a bonus they get ad space.

>>107072188
If only people could make their windows smaller.

>>107071753
Wait, I thought the future was female?

>>107072226
Nobody's going to resize their window just to make your ugly website work.

>>107072226
Yes, the user is retarded. The more user interviews and testing I do/observe I come to the conclusion that the user is even more retarded than I previously thought is possible.

>>107071058 (OP)
You have to go back

I see it's still not possible to sort comments by new.

Yikes, looks like youtube front page.

Everything has to be phone like so zoomgroids don't get lost

>>107072802
At least the youtube front page usually doesn't feature third world gibberish.

i use old.reddit

>>107071099
Stop using a desktop goy. Use your phone.

>>107071058 (OP)
clean means no content and information?

>>107072777
why would you read German reddit and be surprised it sucks?

>>107074312
How about you use a noose

>>107072188
It depends on how you read, though. If the site is meant to be read continuously like a book or article, then margins help. If the site is meant to be explored, where you look for some specific piece of information, then scrolling is a pain and you're better off using more screen real estate.
The insidious shift is that web design has been about dopamine release from continuous scrolling instead of finding a piece of information you want.

>>107071058 (OP)
old.reddit.com is the non-mobile website.

>>107071058 (OP)
it was designed by a team of indians and it shows

>>107075012
still using old reddit, superior to any of their ass redesigns.

>>107071058 (OP)
god i wish they would get just rid of old reddit so i can finally stop going to that shithole

not sure what to say about the new design

>>107074893
It depends on if you're reading a heading that's one or max two lines. Then the length doesn't really matter. If it's body text then you want it narrow.

>>107074846
>How about you use a noose
I own over 50 firearms and well never use one on myself

>>107071058 (OP)
I really wish they would stop redesigning every website and "app" every [time period]. Just fucking stop it for fuck's sake!

>>107072777
use ublock origin dumbass, that's a you problem

You know they will one day just kill this version, right?

>>107075075
it's unusable unless you're using the boomer version. Worth it just to not have to see all the tranny avatars

>>107071058 (OP)
if some retard ever tells you vertical tabs waste space just show them this

>>107074702
like any version of reddit doesn't

Wasted opportunity. Hopefully some nigger on fent will use his on you.

i have a conceal carry permit and am good enough that even a sober nigger has zero chance

>>107071481
Windows XP, Vista and 7 had rounded corners, how come nobody shat on them, people literally praised their designs, those things set standards for decades to come, now rounded corners are randomly bad to /g/ niggers

They're not gonna challenge you to a duel at noon, bozo. You will just get popped in the back and that's that. Life isn't anime.

1.5 now. Don't forget to buy some gold, stranger! Or whatever shit they're selling these days.

>>107071381

>>107071099
Its designed that way for mobile users.

>>107071058 (OP)
now what does it look like with adblock turned off?

>>107078330
Don't do it anons. It will end just like Raiders of the Lost Ark, I know it.

>>107071381

>>107075313
How is this better?

>>107078716
nigger look how much info is missing on the bottom page

>>107078716
If all you care about is looking at the movie poster and the trailer maybe just google the trailer. Imdb was built for people to look into details.

>>107078821
i hate how hard it is to jsut get a list of movies by actor/director sorted by score, grouped by role. fucking impossible to get that i think, every time you have to scroll the entire list to get the info you want

>>107071058 (OP)
Looks like 9gag circa 2010

>>107078716
good movie
I cared

>>107071058 (OP)
Was Moot right that all of the seething over Reddit didn't actually matter in the end? This thread is proving his point.

>>107072777
Just like /g/!

>>107074846
usecase?

Dishonest comparison.

if it wasn't for 4chan X and oneechan this place would've died from visual boredom

>>107072188
This. 4:3 screens were made to be optimal for human eyes. Anything wider is unusable and forces websites to add left/right padding and a lot of empty space.

>>107079967
american post.

>>107072188
oh i agree but the problem is that the design can still be done in a way to show more information on the screen and use more of the available screen space. 1 post at a screen is just facebook wall type of goy farm slop design. old design could show like 25 posts without a problem and also has the categories and links to subreddits on the top and in the left side of the website ... there was a lot of stuff going on and you had a lot of freedom on how you wanted to optimize your reddit browsing. Of course, this meant you watched no adds and also did not scroll so you had to make larger requests to the backend more often....

>>107071099
that's where ads are supposed to show up when you don't block them

>>107071058 (OP)
reddit sucks, lemmy is better even with all the tankies.
orange reddit is better for tech.

>>107080044
They're testing the breakage for old.reddit now, it adds blank iframes at random to try and block le ai

>>107080419
isn't lemmy dead by now?

>>107075313
Looks like ass. And I mean that to the old design

>>107071099
we are going full circle, soon we'll see webpage with a message saying "best viewed on a 6" phone"

>>107080434
lemmy will grow larger
but also piefed is starting to take over, since the codebase isn't maintained by the worst of all the tankies
piefed instances can federate with lemmy instances, so it's not all starting from scratch again.

It's the spirit of '09 again. Before google ruined our last fediverse. (OMB/OAuth)

>>107071099
That sounds like reddit to me!

this came to mind.

>>107071058 (OP)
IDEA
HOW ABOUT SCREENSAVERS BUT FOR ALL THE WASTED SCREEN SPACE ON THESE SHIT DESIGNS
IT COULD ALL BE FILLED WITH FLYING TOASTERS OR WHATEVER

>>107072188
I somewhat disagree but really the bigger issue is these retarded fucking sites preserve padding at all costs. So say you want to split your screen with two windows since the content area is narrow anyway... But then it squeezes the content to preserve the massive whitespace padding even in a narrower window... Fucking why?
Also when there is code ro something and no matter how wide your window, it just fills it up with extra padding and the code stays in a HORIZONTAL SCROLLING box. Fucking abomination.

>>107081233
Now go check the site without adblocker. Guaranteed that extra padding on the sides when the screen gets narrow is for ads.
