    Meh, /u/spez can ligma balls, I’ve logged out of my 16yo Reddit account. Lemmy is cozy, the users are mostly chill and there’s no ads except for the occasional spammers that are swiftly dealt with.

      It’s kinda insane how much abuse we all tolerated that turned out to be totally unnecessary

        I started learning things on Lemmy, just like was on Reddit, which says we’re on the right track. Go Lemmy.

      ngl, I had to read the article before I could parse it.

      This makes more sense to my brain:

      “Reddit updates branding 6 months after mass user protests ahead of rumoured IPO”

        Is that what they are? I didn’t see it. They look like ‘a’ (without the little cap) to me.

        Also it’s struck me again just how hideous that underbite on the ‘e’ is.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Reddit also said the font has “large x-height for readability and disambiguated letterforms for rapid identification” and improved accessibility.

    On Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that Reddit is “holding talks with potential investors” for a 2024 IPO filing.

    The top comment on Acidtwist’s post announcing the branding refresh reads: “My love of old.reddit.com continues to grow.”

    Another reply pokes fun at the Reddit marketing video shared that encourages people to “think of something you like or enjoy.”

    And after Huffman reportedly warned employees to “be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public,” due to potential backlash in June, maybe a new look was necessary.

    Advance Publications, which owns Ars Technica parent Condé Nast, is the largest shareholder in Reddit.


    The original article contains 797 words, the summary contains 117 words. Saved 85%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    My reddit account got banned anyway. I don’t even know for what, the comment they linked to was removed already. The ban appeal site was down too. So idc.
