gollark: I decided it was apiohazardous and switched back, although it kept randomly switching me to new reddit for a bit.

gollark: I *like* the "1998 website" aesthetic.
gollark: It uses unreasonable amounts of client side JS and may actually leak memory while old reddit uses mostly HTML, I have uBO anyway, infinite scrolling means you lose your place if the tab is suspended or whatever and can also trap you in an inescapable reddit cycle, and even "compact" view seems to be wasting space on the sides.
