‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You can still get to the compact interface with /.i on the end of the URL. But they are making it harder and harder to not use their terrible default interface, which is clearly focused on ad delivery not UX.
None of the Reddit interfaces were ever any good IMHO. The service was only usable thanks to third party readers that redefined its user experience. Without them it's about as pleasant as gopher.
Oh compact was just right for me. Fast and mobile friendly and not loads of space taken by pictures.
