“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.

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.

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

It's because it's really ugly pixel art

Guys can we forget for good about the old country?

You’re commenting in a community called “Reddit”…
- Fair enough mate 😅
Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to.
ETA: This pushed me to finally uninstall it
- Something Something learn from the past Something Something repeat it.
  somebody who didn't learn
- You reminded me the sequel trilogy exists….

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?

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.'

Why did they scale down their logo

Because the original logo is behind a paywall. I'm not joking.
- Sorry what? A paywall for logos?
It’s a change to improve your overall experience
Pixels are 'fun' 🙄
- Yeah, but only if they are pixel pals

So long Reddit... It's been emotional

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

- Definitely paid. It's almost 5/5 which is absolute bonkers for that shit show
2.7 on play store lol
No shot it isn't bots

"Look ma, I'm adding user value!"

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.

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?
