It's amazing that reddit survived its redesign, I wish they would rollback. I'm also curious about how many users still use the old design.
If they remove the old design, I would obviously not use reddit anymore, and I don't know if there are viable frontends that would allow me to login.

How is it "your data" if you use their property (reddit.com) to post content on their website? IP and other PII I can understand, as reddit gets that no matter what interaction you do with the website, it makes sense to protect that.

If I post to Reddit, I'm giving Reddit permission to display that comment. I haven't read the T's and C's, but my expectation would be that I retain copyright over my own comments. I could well be wrong (probably, even :), but my point is that giving permission to use my comments on one site shouldn't automatically give carte blanche to anyone and everyone to use them.

Can't the index be shared across a cluster? Possibly with multiple replicas for a share to allow for servers to easily go up and down?
It can, but that would be slow and cost would be prohibitive.

I have to say I strongly disagree with this take. I hate it every time that I have to go through a thread that’s just comment under comment. It’s so hard to keep up with multiple conversations going around.
That’s a fair take. I suppose it depends on what you prioritize. Even in this post it’s difficult to see the most latest comment unless you read and expand all of them. After a few hundred I personally don’t bother. great example is the musk Twitter thread. Good luck finding the globally newest comment.
I use RIF for android and it now has a GDPR consent thing that I refuse everytime. It's amazing that reddit survived its redesign, I wish they would rollback.

> we reserve the right to keep data in our private archive so long as we never allow any data that you requested be removed get exposed through any public API endpoints. This is why I'm really happy to have GDPR. If this were a European company someone would eventually tear them a new one. "Reserve the right" is a cheeky choice of words for keeping data that isn't theirs against people's consent.

Or just log in and tick the box that says "always use old reddit" and then it will always use old reddit.
> Or just log in and tick the box that says "always use old reddit" and then it will always use old reddit. Not sure if it's just me, but that setting seems to frequently get reset, as I tick that box maybe once a week/two weeks or something, but I keep getting sent to the new reddit at one point. Maybe I accidentally access new.reddit.com which forces the new layout and then reset the setting? In any case, I'm givin…
It doesn't apply to mobile but IMHO the new site is slightly less terrible on mobile than the old one anyways so that's my preference.

old.reddit.com fixes that, no?
No, they've changed something recently where sufficiently nested comments with replies now seem to show 'click to see more' thing as well
At least in the past it was a 'non-gold' restriction[1] that you could only set your account to load up to 500 comments automatically.

It's probably hard for me to relate with your problem, because I'm literally never interested in most recents comments. What is your "usecase" in reading newest comments?
Not to mention with threads you waste time reading things over and over again.
