“Changes to improve your overall experience”

It's true. They changed the platform and improved my overall experience by making me not want to use it.

Logo looks like 🤡

- My last post on Reddit got removed.
  
  It was "🖕🤡🖕u/spez"
  
  But apparently that's considered a personal attack.
  
  I think it was the emoji though, because I was once banned for posting "🖕" too, which was nothing personal. I guess they just don't like emojis.

  Well to be fair, if you post "Fuck [Insert Admin Name]" to an instance that the admin controls, you'd likely get that post removed and possibly banned from the instance, especially if that Admin is also the owner of the instance.

I love pixel art and am a retro nerd, and I still don't like that change.

Guys can we forget for good about the old country?

- You’re commenting in a community called “Reddit”…

- Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to.
  
  ETA: This pushed me to finally uninstall it

I guess they try to cling onto their most successful community event with the pixel-canvas, as there is not a lot they can still be proud of?

54
- I guess they will have to moderate / censor it this year because I have a feeling huge portions of the canvas will be about /u/Spez

  Oh man, imagine a huge part of the canvas being 'FEDIVERSE' or 'LEMMY.'

even this community's icon looks better now

Why did they scale down their logo

30
- Because the original logo is behind a paywall. I'm not joking.

  Sorry what? A paywall for logos?

So long Reddit... It's been emotional

20
- ….damage

- It was quite emotional for me a month ago tbh. But Lemmy has been fantastic and I've moved on.

- not really though

  This whole fiasco has demonstrated to me that way too many users had a bizarre and unhealthy attachment to a friggin link aggregator....

I’m surprised Apple approved this for the App Store. Extorting money for an icon, and posting something that looks low quality or like a bug.

That rating is awfully high. Would be a shame if something happened to it ...

How does reddit app have rating of 4.8 on appstore while play store rating is 2.7?

I'd love to hop on the hate bandwagon. But I've got enough reasons to hate reddit. Given r/place opens up very shortly I would wager it's a temporary icon in pixel art for the pixel art event... just a guess.

If I'm wrong that should absolutely violate AppStore guidelines though.

5
- Given that they give you the option to pay to get the old reddit icon back... It might be temporary but the old icon is not coming back.

Yes but do they have Lunar real estate to sell me?
