News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Looks perfectly suited to the new reddit.

They’re competing with x for the edgy crowd ad dollars. Good riddance to both

The new logo looks like a shitty AI render lol, perfect representation for how sanitized a corpo it has become.

There's a new one??

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah it looks worse.

5 minutes with bing and I got it to make a nice looking one.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I genuinely just thought that's what it was. I had not heard of them rebranding...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

A nice bot-made logo to celebrate their army of stupid bots ruining everything.

pure evil. Idk if its supposed to look like this but it does.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 year ago (4 children)

maybe they accidentally left some transparency in place of the white when they first deployed, thus the back background seeped in

[–] rtxn 52 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That thing still looks like something that could devour my sleep paralysis demon.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I do not disagree with this comment

Makes sense. I use a forced dark mode setting for all sites so every so often something comes out looking strange.

Or maybe im just seeing their true nature!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

^ Oh, that forced dark mode is most definitely it. It probably takes only the pure whites from images and turns them black, while retaining the grays and other colors

Reddit? Never heard of it. Did I order coffee from there once?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you did, someone probably spit in it.

Just looks like they suck at icon design and don't understand the difference between rasters and vectors.

Looks like we caught ol Vector sitting there rasterbating again.

It's ugly so it's a good fit for reddit.

I really like the speech bubble. Makes it very clear that they want to become just another social platform where people, not anonymous accounts, interact with each other.

[–] Clinic 19 points 1 year ago

they don't want anonymous. if you use a private browser with no fingerprinting or VPN, you can't even create an account

[–] ericisshort 34 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Probably an unintentional mistake rather than a concious design decision. I think they used a transparent background instead of white, so it accidentally looks evil in night mode. To test, switch your phone out of night mode and see if it schanges the face to white along with the background.

Looks like a failed Dark Reader-converted image but it's actually intentional this time.

idk what this fascination with using 3d renders as part of the icon is, terrible idea and looks sloppy imo

What the fuck is that? Kill it with fire! If it finds a hole it'll either build a nest in it or try to fuck it.

Light from beneath always looks scary. Just think about people who tell scary storys with a flashlight.

It will be amusing when their eventual IPO does a crash and burn and then Spez tries to blame the users.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Did they open AwfulTasteButWorseExecution or is it just from Awful Everything?? That's ugly AF!
