MODERATORS
Maybe they should have spent some of the money they used on this questionable design update on improving their app or working with third party app developers.
"we cant afford the API costs for 3P clients! we need that money for making our own open source font that no one asked for!"

Oh wow that is bad branding my guy
Well you can put lipstick on a pig ...but its still a pig. And that 3D snoo head looked creepy.
Honestly the past two iterations of Snoo before this logo were pretty good. Wish it wasn't attached to an awful website but, eh.
Anyone wanna place a bet on how long it will be before the porn on there gets banned for good?
I know what Spez said about keeping it but he has lied before.
My bet is once they nail down the investors for the IPO, Reddit users are going to see a sharp shift in moderating - including what is allowed regarding NSFW/NSFL content.
I didn't leave Reddit and join Lemmy because I want to read about Reddit. Fuck Reddi. it's yesterday's news.
Nobody's forcing you.
How do you know? Maybe he's tied up mechanical orange style?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Reddit also said the font has "large x-height for readability and disambiguated letterforms for rapid identification" and improved accessibility.
On Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that Reddit is "holding talks with potential investors" for a 2024 IPO filing.
The top comment on Acidtwist's post announcing the branding refresh reads: "My love of old.reddit.com continues to grow."
Another reply pokes fun at the Reddit marketing video shared that encourages people to "think of something you like or enjoy."
And after Huffman reportedly warned employees to "be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public," due to potential backlash in June, maybe a new look was necessary.
Advance Publications, which owns Ars Technica parent Condé Nast, is the largest shareholder in Reddit.
The original article contains 797 words, the summary contains 117 words. Saved 85%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I still don't like centralized corpo silo nature of Reddit, but must say the new logo looks far better and alive.
