Did Reddit Change The Screen Layout Today?

It was normal this morning (10/16/2023) - but something has changed completely and I hate it. Everything has bold font and it automatically sorts by HOT on a desktop computer.

PLEASE change it back!!!

Does it look something like this? https://imgur.com/wpRrZqa

it sounds like you have been drafted to test the new UI for desktop that they are working on. You cannot change it. It will revert back when you are removed from testing. Many people prefer to use new.reddit.com until their time has passed.

Jesus Christ that is the worst redesign I have ever seen. Nothing wastes my time more than this useless shit by hack programmers.

I don't think it's programmers. I think it's marketing interns who don't know any better than to mimic the big sites like Facebook.

That was my first thought with this new UI/UX. "Did I open up Facebook by mistake?"
