    I use the "Old Reddit Redirect" Chrome extension to automatically switch to old.reddit.com. It's kind of unbelievable how much worse the new site layout is by almost any metric (usability, performance, etc.). https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/old-reddit-redirect/dneaehbmnbhcippjikoajpoabadpodje?hl=en-US https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/old-reddit-redirec...

      I suspect reddit is going the way of Digg
  • Rebelgecko 8y ago
    Using old.reddit also lets you read the entire comment, which seems to be truncated for me in the new UI
• j_4 8y ago
  On the old layout there's a "parent" link under every comment. If you're not logged in, you can just add "old." at the start of the url.
• executesorder66 8y ago
  Yes it does. Just click on the link labeled "parent" at the bottom of any comment.
  • jessriedel 8y ago
    Depending on your layout and whether you're signed in, there's no such link. On my view, I see a "show parent comments" button above the comment.

  >"I would be very surprised if in a few years from today a bunch of engineers don't testify that ample of warning was given to management about this. " I love this mentality that "managers" are the only people responsible, and that the people actually putting the thing together are not. It's the same with the bank scandals, or the VW scandal, or the Facebook scams; it's all the executive team! We were just peons following orders! We aren't responsible! If you see a major safety issue or other concern, and report it to your superior, who does nothing, you're pretty weak if you shrug your shoulders and say, "I did my job!"

    > I love this mentality that "managers" are the only people responsible Well, the managers are the dudes who are getting paid for being responsible. The 'peons' are correct.

    Not everyone is swimming in buckets of FAANG cash and has the freedom to be fired at any time. The pressure to keep putting food on the table is strong, especially when you have kids. Many people see nonsense they have no power to personally fix, and in a big bureaucratic organization even making a ruckus will usually get you nothing but shown the door. So for many, the choice is 1: say nothing, keep your paychecks, and the problem still exists, or 2: say something, possibly lose your job, and the problem still doesn't get fixed because you have no authority. The only resort is whistleblowing, which may or may not work and is losing its protections all the time.
  • okmokmz 8y ago
    I mean... that's literally their job. Hence why they get higher pay and more responsibility. The dictionary definition of manager includes "a person RESPONSIBLE for controlling or administering all or part of a company or similar organization". My job description, on the other hand, is simply to aid in implementing and developing the technologies I'm told to by my manager. If they tell me to implement something that is a concern, and I bring it to my manager, and they still tell me to do it then I have done my job and the responsibility of that issue is now on my manager

  You can thank their redesign. Try using "old.reddit.com" while it last. And stop using reddit once that gets taken down. Reddit was once a great site. Now it's a corporatized, censored mess that sold its soul for short-term cashout in their 2020 IPO.

    I have never seen a more incompetent redesign in my life, especially for a "unicorn". That new redesign completely falls apart on Chrome on my mobile (a OnePlus 5T). Comment threads get squished together so much that by the 5th comment in a thread, all words are basically vertically arranged. If I switch to "desktop site" on Chrome, any text I enter gets automatically erased after hitting a certain number of characters. I sometimes can't believe the amount of incompetence that is allowed to thrive at successful companies.

      I suspect it's bad on purpose to force people to install the app.
    • mo1ok 8y ago
      "oops, there's nothing here!" <posts load, showing everything that's there>. This happens on every subreddit, every. single. time. I can't believe in 2018 we got a front-end that does this, just shoddy, shoddy engineering.
    • coupdejarnac 8y ago
      I'm pretty sure the mobile website is designed to be as awful as possible to force users to use the mobile app.
      • ikeyany 8y ago
        It's very effective. It's how Facebook forced all of its users to use the app.
