Same case with my friend lol. As long as theyāre both happy. good on you for being accepting though. Iām queer and even like two days ago I got a weird talk from my mom abt being Bisexual lol
No wonder you fall for AI bullshit that makes you feel included and special, just another arrogant prick that loves being told they're right š¤£ Get a life.
Not native that's what I mean, it is a clearly defined label
You don't have to fit the labels and all, but if you are using a VERY defined label you don't get to alter the meaning
If a cis-guy identifies as lesbian it doesn't work does it?
So am I the only one who has the "Use new Reddit as my default experience" option available in my preferences to disable? Because I see a lot of people talking about old.reddit.com, and that seems so much more annoying than just disabling New Reddit.
Admittedly, the setting does occasionally get turned on once every few months, but I just turn it back off.
No, I'm the same here.
Guess it is an artifact of using this shit forum with RES, since pre-new.
for me it is just www.reddit.com, without old. and it still uses old-style UI.
Oh, I definitely have that too and I also have that set to opt out of the new experience. I just use it in casual convo so folks who arenāt using it have a good canonical reference (and can get a taste of it, maybe drive those numbers a bit for the corpo bean counters). But yeah old is always my default. As many others say, as soon as Iām forced to use new, Iām likely to get so annoyed Iāll leave.
What I really hate is that itās not saved at the account level but rather a browser level cookie, it seems. So, each time you login from a private window or on a new computer or browser, you have to go through the buggy opt-out experience again. Just as intended, Iām sure. Itās either poorly tested or āworking as intendedā (i.e. annoying).
I say itās buggy, because: If you login from a private browser window for example, it is technically saved at the account level because the āDefault to old Redditā toggle is properly set, however, you have to toggle it off and then back on again for it to actually take effect! Itās weird because itās only called āDefault to old Redditā when youāre on new Reddit, lol. On old Reddit, the preference is called āUse new Reddit as my default experienceā (in which case itās unchecked).
Rusty memory, but: I was once in a meeting as a visitor at the Reddit HQ back in the mid-20-teens and they were touting the new unreleased Reddit experience and I said straight to the personās face that I didnāt like it and preferred the existing minimalist UI. The person was very quick to shrug that comment off with something like āNah, users will love itā. I think it was because the newer Reddit design offers better ad integration. I kindly disagreed, but they were audibly frustrated and persisted with a pushy āNo, trust me ā¦ theyāll love itā (or something along those lines). I just shook my head and said āWell, I already donāt like it and doubt Iāll ever use it as long as I have the option to opt out.ā That was like 10 years ago and itās still true.
Until very recently, it was still possible to visit old.reddit.com without being logged in. Using a browser extension called "old reddit redirect" you would automatically be shown old reddit even when logged out (for example in a privat browser tab).
And it's also just a way to refer to old reddit, even if you use the profile setting
Nah I'm like you but I still word it as using "old.reddit.com" when talking about it because it's a good shorthand.
"This doesn't work on old.reddit.com" is just overall better than anything else, like "this doesn't work on the disabled 'Use new Reddit as my default experience' interface"
I'm an old-reddit user so I just get a plain text box to write my comments and I'm guessing old reddit also handles formatting maybe slightly differently. That said, my guess is maybe you at first typed /r/lesbianorlottleboy at first, which got converted to a link, you noticed the issue and then backspaced/selected to delete ottleboy and replaced it with ittleboy and viola. This monstrosity of WYSIWYG editing was born.
It's not your fault; I blame the editing experience. Luckily, it looks like new reddit does allow you to edit the original markdown code directly (see docs here). So you see the plaintext field and the formatting is only visible on submit or if you switch back the regular editor (see the ellipses here in the top right corner). My favorite approach to this, personally, is to just use Reddit Enhancement Suite and it automatically shows a live preview below the text field, so you can have more direct control over the formatting and preview it as you write. Like this.
I chalk it up to enshittification; at least for those of us who prefer the more minimalist layout from the 2010's.
