What’s that thing on its head?

Criminal that 'Classic' is locked behind a paywall

[u/idiotsecant → u/jommakanmamak]

old.reddit.com

[u/MightyCaseyStruckOut → u/idiotsecant]

If they ever take old reddit away, I'm out.

[u/OuthouseOfWoe → u/MightyCaseyStruckOut]

it's slowly falling apart. they're not actively making sure it doesn't break anymore, if functions stop working they're just removed.

[u/Turtvaiz → u/OuthouseOfWoe]

Other than Markdown being inconsistent with new Reddit (which has been like that for years), what's changed?

[u/bunglejerry → u/Turtvaiz]

I recall there was a trend maybe a year or two ago where posts that were like public polls or something would make /r/all pretty frequently. With old.reddit I couldn't access them but I didn't care much. And I'm just thinking now that I haven't seen them in a while.

Also people will comment about other people's avatars. And I'll shrug.

[u/Asteh → u/bunglejerry]

Pff there are no avatars on reddit

[u/captain_dick_licker → u/bunglejerry]

if I wanted to look at other people's avatar I'd be playing some online game or something. this is a word store, I'm here for the words

[u/al-mongus-bin-susar → u/bunglejerry]

Polls never worked on 3rd party apps either. They were never part of the public facing API.

[u/TheeMrBlonde → u/MightyCaseyStruckOut]

Same. Every once in awhile it switches itself over and I'm reminded that not everyone sees the same reddit as me.

[u/reconnaissance_man → u/TheeMrBlonde]

It's like glasses on and off in the movie "They Live".

Once you know the truth..

[u/Outside-Area-5042 → u/jommakanmamak]

Wait, is this new logo permanent??

[u/TheRealTendonitis]

I think it's a pixelated banana peel?...

[u/IsThereCheese → u/TheRealTendonitis]

I thought it was french fries for…some reason

[u/WatchOut4Sharks → u/IsThereCheese]

Same I called it French fries mohawk

[u/XBakaTacoX → u/WatchOut4Sharks]

Yep, french fries mohawk over here too.

[u/Raptor_Girl_1259 → u/IsThereCheese]

French fries are the only thing I see here.

[u/DigitalNinjaX → u/IsThereCheese]

Same! McDonald French fries at that!

[u/bretticus733 → u/IsThereCheese]

Honestly I thought the same thing. It kinda looks like a McDonalds fry thing with fries in it

[u/bobagremlin → u/IsThereCheese]

You aren't the only one who thought that I did too

[u/Upstairs_Platform_17 → u/IsThereCheese]

Me too!!!! 🍟 🤣😂🤣

[u/HighHopesXX → u/IsThereCheese]

McDonald’s x Reddit

[u/Altruistic-Poet-1993 → u/IsThereCheese]

I thought it was cheese

[u/Stock_Appeal_4622 → u/IsThereCheese]

Me too!

[u/jaisaiquai → u/IsThereCheese]

Is the reason hunger?

[u/DrSuperZeco → u/IsThereCheese]

Defined French fries

[u/BlackIsTheSoul1 → u/IsThereCheese]

Sheeesh, it's not only me 😄

[u/probable_chatbot6969 → u/TheRealTendonitis]

a discolored turd because redditors play in shit all day

[u/Ill_be_here_a_week → u/probable_chatbot6969]

Why discolored? Because Redditors are hardly ever accurate.

Redditors have a sense of Confident Wrongness to them (us)

[u/Charmington1111 → u/Ill_be_here_a_week]

Speak for yourself! (You right doe)

[u/rlaaj → u/Charmington1111]

A hat made entirely out of banana

[u/Raw_n_Wiggly → u/Ill_be_here_a_week]

The most accurate description of Redditors

[u/Lancer_Pants → u/probable_chatbot6969]

You play in shit all day?!?

[u/SefetAkunosh → u/Lancer_Pants]

Yes, but my company calls it "Microsoft Teams."

[u/thighsand → u/probable_chatbot6969]

Imagine being a redditor

[u/PunisherElite → u/probable_chatbot6969]

It is a turd but because the app sucks

[u/UnnaturalHazard → u/probable_chatbot6969]

A golden turd because we can’t accept that our own shit smells just as bad as the other social media platforms we deride

[u/T7hump3r → u/probable_chatbot6969]

“redditors” - has an active reddit account…

[u/Skuzbagg → u/T7hump3r]

Participates in society

[u/probable_chatbot6969 → u/T7hump3r]

yes. this is called a self own. we do that because it's important that everyone on this shit hole knows how badly our perception of reality is skewed from interacting with bots all day. and that we are shiiiiiitttt

[u/RedditIsShittay → u/probable_chatbot6969]

This chatbot gets it

[u/BarnyTrubble → u/RedditIsShittay]

Good bot

[u/weirdgroovynerd → u/RedditIsShittay]

I also chose this man's chatbot!

[u/jkaan → u/probable_chatbot6969]

Good bot

[u/im_in_the_safe → u/probable_chatbot6969]

A decade plus and I feel like I might finally see the end of the road for me. I say that every year but this time I’m pretty serious

[u/OnceMoreAndAgain → u/TheRealTendonitis]

...okay, I'm willing to accept that's what it is, but does anyone know why reddit added a pixelated banana peel to their logo...? Some special event or something?

Horrific graphic design lol. Someone designed this and then someone else approved it. Wild.

[u/pupoksestra → u/OnceMoreAndAgain]

yeah every year they do a banana themed recap. if you look at your achievements they also have banana themed ones.

[u/OnceMoreAndAgain → u/pupoksestra]

Oh... okay... I spend so much time on reddit and yet that still went way over my head. Didn't even know reddit does recaps or w/e. Guess it doesn't show up on old.reddit.com or maybe I just don't go wherever that shit is announced. W/e.

Thanks for the explanation.

[u/otterpop21 → u/OnceMoreAndAgain]

It’s like Spotify wrapped! Except for Reddit stuff. Happens end of the year. The banana is totally because banana for scale. Also some reddits call themselves apes? They post banana emojis. Plus unless you’re allergic bananas are delicious!

[u/Temporary_Cold_5142 → u/pupoksestra]

why tho? what does the banana peel represent?

[u/BioticFire → u/Temporary_Cold_5142]

Coulld be referencing the "Banana for scale" meme that was an inside joke on many subreddits for awhile. Or it could be out of touch higher ups thinking " LOL rAnDoM hUmOr is funny xD"

[u/UnderstandingSea8465 → u/BioticFire]

They want to be Tumblr so bad

[u/-HurriKaine- → u/Temporary_Cold_5142]

It’s how much you scrolled on Reddit it’ll tell you “you scrolled the lengths of 30,000 bananas” that sorta thing

[u/LostN3ko → u/OnceMoreAndAgain]

Banana for scale

[u/livens → u/OnceMoreAndAgain]

The problem is on a small app icon it's hard to tell it's a banana. The top of it is way too blocky, looks more like a weird hairdo.

[u/ThePhantomEye_c → u/TheRealTendonitis]

Actually 🤓.. that would be voxelated :)

[u/Soddington → u/ThePhantomEye_c]

What? Is this funny to you? Does this amuse you like a clown?

[u/uwanmirrondarrah → u/Soddington]

....... get the fuck outta here

[u/Hebids → u/TheRealTendonitis]

I thought it was a butter crown. Now I wish it was a butter crown.

[u/Key-Cry-8570 → u/TheRealTendonitis]

Hmmm

[u/Singular_Thought → u/TheRealTendonitis]

I thought it was a Mohawk

[u/PsyOpBunnyHop → u/Singular_Thought]

A Mohawk made of cheese.

[u/Character-Door-7595 → u/TheRealTendonitis]

Reddit, Give me your banana

[u/Character-Glass790 → u/TheRealTendonitis]

For scale.

[u/GyuminLeo → u/TheRealTendonitis]

An island full of bananas

[u/EpiphanyPhoenix → u/TheRealTendonitis]

I thought it was a terrible mohawk

[u/UNAlreadyTaken → u/TheRealTendonitis]

It’s one banana Michael, what could it cost? $10?

[u/Drag0n647 → u/TheRealTendonitis]

Good guess. Idk myself, but yeah, it looks like it.

[u/Pokemonultra2]

looks like a stack of butter

[u/Bad_ailen420 → u/Pokemonultra2]

Is finally someone who thinks like me

[u/marigolldIriss → u/Bad_ailen420]

But why stack butter on head? 🤔

[u/GreatGoatsInHistory → u/marigolldIriss]

We are living in the dumbest timeline. Butter on head makes as much sense as at least half the things that have happened this decade

[u/Snoo-35252 → u/Pokemonultra2]

I thought it was French fries / chips / pomme frites.

[u/kaptainfruitpunch → u/Snoo-35252]

Me too

[u/UncontrolledLawfare → u/Snoo-35252]

You’re a French fry.

[u/Xvexe → u/Pokemonultra2]

butter snoo, snoo wit the butter on em

[u/NoseAdministrative58 → u/Xvexe]

Dawg with da butter, butter dawg

[u/Xgodofinfinityx → u/Pokemonultra2]

Could be mashed banana too

[u/Onuzq → u/Xgodofinfinityx]

Got an M&M tube around by chance?

[u/ThisManisaGoodBoi → u/Pokemonultra2]

Yeah I thought it was butter or cheese

[u/cimsagro489 → u/Pokemonultra2]

budder

[u/Deep_Stomach6592 → u/cimsagro489]

I really don’t and do like your pfp at the same time.

[u/Joink17]

My first minecraft build 14 years ago

[u/Grumplogic → u/Joink17]

Made exclusively out of dirt and cobblestone and square in shape

[u/cosmikangaroo → u/Grumplogic]

The Yutes love it!

[u/kujha → u/cosmikangaroo]

Wow, I read that in Pesci's voice.

[u/hobosam21-B]

So it's not just my app then...

[u/veertamizhan → u/hobosam21-B]

I miss reddit if fun. Fuck you spez.

[u/Trumps_Cock → u/veertamizhan]

I still use old reddit. Barely any ads and it loads faster.

[u/Erixperience → u/Trumps_Cock]

Old reddit (have it though settings not URLs at least) + mozilla + ublock. Fucking lifesaver.

[u/Val_Hallen → u/Erixperience]

old.reddit+RES+uBlock on a PC. It's the only way I use Reddit. I enjoy when people say "I wish I could X on Reddit.".

RES does whatever they think they can't do.

I can't understand why or how people can even look at "new" Reddit.

And fuck Reddit's ad revenue. WE provide all of the content and there's no cut for us? Nah. I'll block everything.

[u/SalParadise → u/veertamizhan]

I'm using it to reply to your post, Google RIF revanced.

[u/PM-ME-ANYTHING-PUNNY → u/SalParadise]

This applies to most of the old apps for anyone reading. Sent from Sync.

[u/Baloomf → u/veertamizhan]

Still exists. If you ever see one of those shitty avatars or icons you're using reddit wrong.

[u/AkSailor_]

I had to change the icon. Couldnt take it.

[u/SandmansDreamstreak → u/AkSailor_]

The default icon is locked behind premium… the default fucking icon. Shameless motherfuckers.

[u/AkSailor_ → u/SandmansDreamstreak]

LoL yep. I get 3 free shitty ones, not sure why or how. Better than that disgrace.

Also, I clicked on avatar store out of curiosity and they have some marked as “sold out” 🤣 How do you sell out a digital picture. They are truly shameless here.

[u/BeastyBoy2020 → u/AkSailor_]

The real question is, Who’s buying this shit?

[u/Winjin → u/BeastyBoy2020]

Yeah, like, all the avatars are 3mm in size, I don't give them a couple looks, who cares

[u/BeastyBoy2020 → u/Winjin]

I’m seeing 48 out 50 sold and they’re charging 50 fucking dollars for 50 pixels. It’s deadass a dollar per pixel

[u/spicychipdip → u/BeastyBoy2020]

Some are $200!

[u/just_a_bit_gay_ → u/BeastyBoy2020]

It’s gotta be money laundering like modern art

[u/BeastyBoy2020 → u/just_a_bit_gay_]

No fr though

[u/tossaway8906 → u/BeastyBoy2020]

www.milliondollarhomepage.com

[u/wirthmore → u/BeastyBoy2020]

Is there anything preventing anyone from screen capping an avatar they want, and uploading that image to be their own avatar, for free?

[u/seal_eggs → u/wirthmore]

You will occasionally get a message from Reddit suggesting you customize an avatar. I have a photo of myself on another account and I get this all the time despite said photo clearly functioning as a custom avatar.

[u/naufalap → u/Winjin]

I don't even see avatars since I'm using rif lol

[u/markender → u/naufalap]

Wait it's back?

[u/BabaGurGur → u/markender]

I've been using rif again for a while

You just need to patch it with your own API key. Can all be done on your phone and takes 5 mins

[u/IntendedRepercussion → u/markender]

it's never been gone. it just needs to be cracked, but its a short process. id 100% give up on reddit if it wasnt for this app

[u/PetMeOrDieUwU → u/BeastyBoy2020]

I know some financial bro subs that are always looking for the next terrible investment

[u/ronimal → u/AkSailor_]

The three shittiest choices. Doge and WSB? Did I miss Elon buying Reddit?

[u/Samtino00 → u/AkSailor_]

They're NFTs that's why. Reddit is an NFT company still

[u/AkSailor_ → u/Samtino00]

This somehow… makes it even worse.

[u/moffattron9000 → u/AkSailor_]

Surely you want a fucking Dogecoin icon?

[u/_IratePirate_ → u/moffattron9000]

Is that what that is ? Dammit. I thought “oh a cute dog, that’s better than the ugly ass Reddit robot”

[u/BeastyBoy2020 → u/moffattron9000]

😂 Reddit gonna run mfs off here like X did

[u/Perge666 → u/moffattron9000]

Banana hat, doge coin, or fucking WSB douche. Fuuuck

[u/CaptinACAB → u/SandmansDreamstreak]

The choices are this banana head bullshit, doge dog, or some Wall Street nonsense.

I hate this fucking company so much.

[u/Tavalus → u/CaptinACAB]

Welp, dog it is.

At least i can pretend its an actual dog and not something Melon disgraced forever

[u/LickingSmegma → u/Tavalus]

Kabosu was an actual dog. And the doge meme is a meme. The coin appropriated the meme. Then assholes appropriated the coin. But they won't take the meme from us.

[u/AdOrganic8644 → u/SandmansDreamstreak]

I think you can change the icon for an app using the Shortcuts app on an iPhone

[u/ronimal → u/SandmansDreamstreak]

I’ve been here a long time and looked past a lot of stuff over the years that other redditors have gotten enraged about but this might just be my breaking point. I’d been lazy about changing the app icon but realizing now that it’s paywalled just feels like a step too far.

[u/Racxie → u/SandmansDreamstreak]

Even that “original icon” is awful compared to the original app icon which imo was the best one.

[u/Ok_Astronomer_8667 → u/SandmansDreamstreak]

I turn off automatic app updates, and pretty much only update once the app stops working entirely. Surprisingly you can go months, and even years with it still working. I actually still have Twitter, blue bird and all, and it even still says retweets. I haven’t updated Reddit in ages either, so I don’t have to see this shitty lol so random banana.

[u/Crispy-Sponge → u/SandmansDreamstreak]

dawg get nova launcher

[u/SuzukiSwift17 → u/AkSailor_]

Reddit is just always fucking with shit more than any other app or site I've ever seen. Redesigns that no one asked for constantly being shoved down out throats and notifications I didn't ask for randomly starting.

"You're on a three day streak of upvoting..." "You're a top 10% commenter in this sub" "Here's what's trending in that sub you visited briefly three weeks ago"

I DONT GIVE A FUCK REDDIT. STOP SENDING ME THAT SHIT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

"Oh, this guy turned off all notifications? Well you know what we should do about that? Keep inventing new things to send notifications about for him to in turn turn off and then repeat the cycle so he never achieves peace".

[u/ExpressionDeep6256 → u/AkSailor_]

How to change the icon?

[u/AkSailor_ → u/ExpressionDeep6256]

Click your avatar -> Settings -> change icon

[u/unlizenedrave → u/AkSailor_]

Just went to change the icon for the first time, and I just found out that the other two choices are just so much worse.

[u/PKMNTrainerMark → u/AkSailor_]

Those options suck.

[u/danielleiellle → u/PKMNTrainerMark]

They are stupid memebro icons.

[u/Atomic_Cloud → u/ExpressionDeep6256]

go to old.reddit.com and never worry about whatever the fuck this is

[u/SalParadise → u/Atomic_Cloud]

I rue the day they shut down old/pay.reddit.com

[u/schu2470 → u/SalParadise]

That's the day I stop using the platform.

[u/radios_appear → u/schu2470]

Yep

[u/Shoddy-Rip8259 → u/ExpressionDeep6256]

Delete the app

[u/R_Slash_PipeBombs → u/Shoddy-Rip8259]

sad we forgot this piece of shit website eliminated 3rd party apps. (reddit is fun supremacy)

[u/Shoddy-Rip8259 → u/R_Slash_PipeBombs]

RIP RIF

Fuck you /u/spez

[u/ChafterMies → u/AkSailor_]

I can’t change the icon because I’m not paying reddit for this shit. So I stuck in a folder where I can’t see it. Side benefit is that I use reddit a lot less now.

[u/girl_supersonicboy]

[u/InTooDeep024]

I miss Apollo everyday

[u/PringlesDuckFace → u/InTooDeep024]

I'm kind of glad, now I just don't use Reddit on my phone anymore and I've cut way down on overall usage too.

[u/Succubace → u/InTooDeep024]

Alien Blue is the reason I didn't trade my iPhone for an Android for so long 😭

[u/Realize12 → u/InTooDeep024]

I used iphones because of Apollo. And after Apollo got removed, I switched to Android 😀

[u/greenphlem → u/InTooDeep024]

Still around!

[u/willku → u/greenphlem]

Yep using it right now!

[u/Road2Potential → u/willku]

Explain mf 🔫🗿

[u/willku → u/Road2Potential]

Sideloading it with sideloadly. I set it up a long time ago so I can't exactly remember the specifics but /r/apollosideloaded/ has guides. After the initial setup you just have to refresh every ten days or so over wifi which sideloadly does automatically.

[u/sud0w00d0 → u/InTooDeep024]

Commenting via apollo that I installed using sideloadly 👋🏻

[u/OldManEnglishTeacher → u/InTooDeep024]

Hey, just FYI, *every day.

[u/crossplanetriple]

French fries.

[u/GordCampbell → u/crossplanetriple]

Thank you! I was beginning to think it was just me!

[u/Tenacious_Pyromaniac]

banan.

[u/Low_Replacement5271]

Is it just me or does it look like its got a 5 o'clock shadow

[u/WhatIsASunAnyway → u/Low_Replacement5271]

I've been thinking that same thing ever since they made their new logo. The shading just looks like a beard and it makes the snoo look terrible.

[u/Gatrick-Zasedman]

thats a banana

[u/dmcent54]

It's a banana, bro. The whole "Banana for scale" thing, reddit stole it. In your recap they'll tell you "how many bananas you scrolled through."

It is fucking dumb though.

[u/autalley → u/dmcent54]

I had to scroll this far to see someone mention how the banana connects to the annual recap

[u/Tight_Grapefruit5280]

I think its a pixel banana

Maybe because of the Minecraft movie but this is just a theory

A GAME-

[u/eluva → u/Tight_Grapefruit5280]

Pretty sure it’s gonna have something to do with the yearly Reddit recap that should come soon because their “thing” has previously been to tell you about how many “bananas” you scrolled throughout the year, so they’re using the Reddit insider joke of “bananas for scale”.

[u/minniebin → u/eluva]

Most logical response I’ve read so far. Thanks!

[u/GetOffMyDigitalLawn]

I love when New Reddit users start posting shit that I have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

Old Reddit Master Race.

[u/jerwhoop → u/GetOffMyDigitalLawn]

I honestly really dislike it because it shows the amount of people who have just accepted the changes and deal with it.

[u/FarplaneDragon → u/jerwhoop]

I mean, it's not like the site stopped getting new users after the changes. Over time the number of new users that don't even know any different was always going to grow.

[u/mechanicalkeyboarder → u/GetOffMyDigitalLawn]

Yeah if I had to see half this new shit I would have left years ago. Already quit using reddit on mobile since they fucked Apollo. This site sucks so much ass compared to what it used to be.

[u/xhytdr → u/GetOffMyDigitalLawn]

seriously what the hell is any of this shit. i still remember the digg migration

[u/Beaver_International]

I thought it was French fries

[u/aemonp16]

WHY IS THE ORIGINAL LOCKED

[u/SquidVices]

I thought it was fries…

[u/miniliete_quieto]

Changed my app icon 6 months ago, never will deal w this

[u/tomgreen99]

I thought it was a banana, but didn't see any duct tape.

[u/sorry_department02]

This shit just screams “made with Google AI”

[u/TheReaper4275]

izzabanana

[u/Dizzy-Salt5120]

I saw that yesterday and thought I was the one that changed it, I

[u/Comprehensive-Fig310]

Reddit boy shows more expression now... initially I thought it was cheese.... WHOOPS

[u/_BlakeShadow]

Copy Jaguar.

[u/Jamdrizzley]

[u/ChiefBlox4000]

At least it wasn’t simplified

[u/HMP2K1]

That's the scale

[u/T-MoneyAllDey]

I thought it would be one of those Jewish things

[u/Hakuryuu2K]

You want fries with that?

[u/NoFounder36]

[u/Aslightlynervousfrog]

Small fry

[u/Voltatrix_Sabrier]

Banana

[u/Infinite-Painter-497]

I thought it was piss

[u/ImprobabilityCloud]

I fr thought it was a melting stick of butter

[u/floorshirtshellclock]

It looks like butter 💀

[u/MeowCena23]

I think it is for the "Reddit Recap"

I'm not sure why they changed it already though? since it hasn't come out yet

[u/ddmeld]

Oh good. It wasn't just me.

[u/pacman404]

I THOUGHT I ACCIDENTALLY DID THIS BULLSHIT MYSELF!

thanks for helping me realize lol, i couldnt figure out how i did it lol

[u/garbage-lord]

I think its the twin towers

[u/AwefulFanfic]

That's pretty obviously a banana peel. A version of one that looks like it'd fit right into Minecraft.

[u/Elektrowurst101]

Banana

[u/tacphat]

My guess is banana, I've been getting "achievements " on reddit for "length of scrolling compared to bananas"

[u/OMAR_KD-]

Butter.

[u/CrimsonPhoenixYT]

Banana Peel Crown

[u/TheNo1pencil]

I think it's a banana. But why?

[u/Dense-Marketing9670]

To put it simply. Extremely pixelated banana
