I'm not seeing Facebook at all, personally. The UX of the entire site is different, from navigation to media. Are you saying the visual design is similar? IMO

I'm not seeing Facebook at all, personally. The UX of the entire site is different, from navigation to media. Are you saying the visual design is similar? IMO this is a clear improvement to the site's dated UX that held them back from going mainstream w/ many demographics.

Yes, all it seems to be doing is drag the visual design towards Facebook, or towards what everybody is doing nowadays . You can call that "less dated", but it's also unoriginal. Which is a shame, given that there's a decade of ideas here, from third-party add-ons like RES to all of the custom CSS from subreddits and everything. They could have taken the best parts and just improved Reddit, going in a unique direction regardless of what the rest of the Web currently happens to look like. Can you even call it "design" if the end result makes it look more like everybody else?
