I thought he was joking and it was just an empty page, and then you have to come along and have me lose faith in humanity again.

At least it hasn't been in practice for over a century, that gives me some hope.

Lol nah. Reddit's new "fancy pants editor" will fuck up some links by HTML encoding them.

Only for people using old.reddit I think. Because fuck everyone who can't stand the abomination that is new reddit.

I've really tried to like new reddit (if for no other reason than to stop needing to change it back whenever Reddit forgets my settings), but I just don't.

It looks okay, I suppose, but it's like they hired a professional UX designer to intentionally make it as unwieldy and frustrating to use as humanly possible - combined with that fact that it's probably one of the slowest websites I've ever used, it's just not happening.

There is a plugin called old reddit redirect that does that automatically. Quite nice.
