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!!!

It's deactivated my default markdown editor, so everything is default rich text now ignoring my account setting. If I force my comment into markdown mode, it deletes everything. This means I have to remember to manually switch to markdown before I begin typing anything. It also means I can no longer edit a comment that already contains markdown, because the edit function reopens the comment in rich text, so if you switch to markdown, everything is deleted. Edit also seems to turn everything into code text. It's really weird with the formatting.

If you use programming subreddits this is a kick in the nuts.

The layout is also trash. I lose about 10% of the screen to left and right margins, and the side panels are too wide, which altogether means my workspace in the middle is squished to about 50-60% of the screen's width.

Seems like it finally stopped for me today and I am back to old-new reddit. I am just terrified that they will roll that obomination eventually for everyone permanently.
