  • Everything's so smaller now
  • All avatars are a tiny square (but uses their original, circular shape if you go to the page where you can view the avatar fully)
  • "OP" flair like Reddit (also looks like reddit), as opposed to "Creator" flair which felt more original
  • The post links and fediverse icons are now next to the username as opposed to the upvote-downvote-share icon
  • The vaporwave theme makes the "subscribe", "create a post" buttons more rounded... they look just like Reddit's "subscribe", "create a post" buttons!

Yeah tell me about it, this place looked way cozier and comfier with bigger texts from before. People here are complaining about big texts like scrolling a little more below's gonna cost them half their life. Jesus Christ.

I don’t mind compactness. I just dislike how it looks here.

  1. horizontal space is nowhere near fully utilized, the empty space is wasted. If you’re going to use smaller text with the excuse you can fit more info this is undercut by leaving all this space on the sides eerily empty.

  2. If the screen real estate issue is fixed the smaller text needs something to be a bit more readable. A 1pt font size increase, shadows/outlines, I don’t know I’m not a UI expert I just feel this is for me worse than the old one.

This is coming from someone who exclusively used old Reddit by the way. I also don’t mind the old look (compare hex bear right now to this site in terms of screen utilization, readability, etc).

Needs tweaking.

People bashing on accessibility friendly designs, are probably the same types who won't use alt text on images.
