View submission: Announcing Remove as a Subreddit

View parent comment

Ok. Interesting. Just looking at the toolbox guide it seems like most of the things they’ve got there are things that reddit has been adding over the last little while.

I’ll check it out though. Is it only really for old reddit? I seem to be in the minority that actually likes new reddit.

I don't have an issue with New Reddit as a design - the Old Reddit design would be very offputting to new users of the site, but after spending a couple of years on a subreddit that uses Old for our workflow, I've come to appreciate the ways it works better. (A couple more things I've thought of since my previous comment: 1) Mod buttons always show without an extra click, when due to New Reddit having massive margins on the left & right one a widescreen monitor, it can take more clicks to find the right button to take an action, especially on comments 3+ down in a chain; and 2) Old Reddit has the RES extension (r/Enhancement) that adds infinite scroll, which New Reddit has normally, but just not in modqueue pages for some reason, and when you want to start from oldest first, that makes things much easier if something has happened and nobody has checked queue for a couple of hours, or you're checking the spam feed and want to just Ctrl+F for `[ removed ]` to find things in the Reddit spam filter now that that skips the modqueue)

Toolbox does work on New Reddit, but I've found it a little more clunky to use at times.

I agree that the admins have ben looking through Toolbox's featureset and adding stripped-down versions to New Reddit and mobile,
