    I opted out of the redesign on my account. That way, I use the old design on my account, even if I'm not using old.reddit.

    It is the worst redesign I've ever seen on a major website like this for a number of reasons. It's needlessly heavy on resources, it's slow, it's difficult to navigate, it's filled…

    Samsung's SmartThings seems to be pretty similar. Not sure about it's security though.

    Just because you don't use or need those features doesn't mean that everyone feels the same. Many people use any enjoy the features that steam provides. For example, I enjoy the ab…

    This is a really bad post with a lot of completely needless personal attacks, with some coming right out of the gate.

    On one hand, this creates a platform that is more or less the standard of the web. On the other hand, this only gives Google more control of the web. I really wish that instead of …

    Exactly. There are often times where I get a blank page and have to refresh. Combine that with the fact that CPU usage is way higher on the redesign for me, and after about a month…

    I love this! It's really fun, and will be really useful for when I'm making something and can't find a specific color.

    This outage lasted quite long. I hope we get a postmortem from Reddit as to why the site went down.
