what keeps Reddit from turning into something generic is redditors
what keeps reddit from turning into something generic is the ability for mods to style individual subreddits differently, which communicates the different vibes and goals of individual subreddits. when you look at r/LGBT, it should be very obvious that you're not in the same space with the same expectations for behavior as when you're in r/4chan.

I'm excited to see what's planned, but it does worry me that a lot of changes have made this problem worse, always kicking it down the road.

With the best will in the world, if it was then New Reddit and the official Reddit app would probably just need to be scrapped and started again at this point.
They are still way, way, way behind old Reddit.

I think the users are more influenced by the design of the app than it seems. Redditors wont be unique if the app isn't.

You do realize that this would require undoing basically every single thing The company has done since launching the new.reddit redesign, right?
The entire reason why old.reddit remains so popular among long time users is the fact that every new design feature actively hinders the ability to find and contribute to the communities we want. And every new design feature is just something generic lifted from chasing the tails of other social media companies.

Probably 90 % of communities on Reddit have some form of control on who can contribute where and when. making it simple to find a community does no good when new users are forced to generic unwanted communities just to participate at all.

Is it possible to make reddit as light on the memory footprint as old.reddit is by user customization?
​
Because right now old.reddit takes much less RAM then new reddit. Old.reddit also has the advantage of running better on older and slower hardware

Is this why user attribution is going to be removed in the new ui?

so hey, you're an admin. How come I got warned but then the context that was supposed to be provided was blank? Is that because they couldn't even read up to notice that I was just sarcastically responding to an obvious scammer who is breaking TOS by even creating their account? edit: or was it that i sarcastically responded to someone giving me advice that would basically kill me and again, they couldn't even scroll up to see that I was clearly not an instigator in ANY situation like that ever? OR was it that what i said wasn't even a TOS violation in context, and providing said context would PROVE that they had to twist my intent to consider it a valid report to begin with? Genuinely curious what you think is most likely.
