Reddit is removing custom CSS, a decision not supported at all by the Galactic Hub Subreddit. As you guys on PC know, we rely heavily on (and are proud of) our custom CSS.

Back on topic: I take it this means we can stop worrying about custom flairs and other cool stuff?

Pretty sad...

[u/7101334 → u/TheMarco]

General consensus is that user flairs are so widely demanded that somehow that aspect will probably be retained. But it's a possibility we will lose flair capability, yeah.

I say we keep working on it until we lose it, though. On that topic, I invited you to be a mod for this sub too, and posted some Fed news (not sure if you saw).

[u/TheMarco → u/7101334]

On the Fed part: I'm about to do a LOT of prep work for tons of flairs there but I don't really feel like doing that until it's clear what the future of flairs and other custom CSS is. Hope this is understandable?

[u/7101334 → u/TheMarco]

Absolutely, but if you don't do it, I probably will eventually. Was considering setting up things like giving Ambassadors flairs of their civilization's emblem.

[u/TheMarco → u/7101334]

I think I'll still do it. This kind of stuff I can totally contribute. As far as the rest of the recent Federation developments are concerned: this is moving way faster than I can keep up with right now with 5 weeks left to prepare for my 3rd child. I'll be watching but in terms of community contributions I'll stick to the subreddit itself and my lore project for now :)

[u/7101334 → u/TheMarco]

Okay, sounds good. And congrats on your soon-to-be-child!

I'm not holding my breath over them not fucking it up in some way.

Gotta love that for a quote. They must be doing it for a reason and lets be honest, its probably about money.

Whats custom css

[u/7101334 → u/[deleted]]

If you're on mobile you won't see it, but it's what makes the subreddit not just look like a boring basic/default subreddit.

[u/[deleted] → u/7101334]

Why are they doing it tho?

[u/7101334 → u/[deleted]]

In their post they mostly cited issues with mobile and CSS "causing them to move slowly" with updating Reddit. If you follow the links, you can see the Reddit Admin post on the subject.

Wow thats pretty gay

[u/Teovin → u/[deleted]]

Well where I'm from gay means fabulous, this news doesnt seem fabulous.

Note: Dont use that word that way on here

[u/[deleted] → u/Teovin]

Gay means homosexual not fabulous

[u/7101334 → u/[deleted]]

If you're actually intentionally using "homosexual" as a derogatory/negative term and not just saying "that's gay" because you're a suburban kid who says what his friends say, you can fuck off.

It's not that bad. I like the basic look. Although I would like to have a custom header.

Hopefully, Gamepedia gets rid of css themes as well. It's impossible to work with the current NMS wiki theme colors on mobile.

[u/7101334 → u/morgvom_org]

I like the basic look.

I do not

[u/morgvom_org → u/7101334]

That's perfectly understandable.

[u/7101334 → u/morgvom_org]

I would just like to see what the alternative is before we lose what we have. It may be better, but I doubt it, and "don't fix what isn't broken."

[u/TheMarco → u/7101334]

As part designer, part front end developer I hate the aesthetics (or lack thereof) in the plain vanilla look and feel of Reddit but at the same time totally understand why they'd want to end supporting custom CSS. It's because any change, enhancement or new feature has the potential to break people's pages and cause anger and stress among the user base. It makes Reddit as a whole extremely brittle. That said, simply taking it away removes the ability to personalize and create a unique identity which is also not a desirable thing to do. I'm​ holding back judgement until I learn what they'll offer instead of custom CSS.

[u/7101334 → u/[deleted]]

Lol it's supported by some people with a better understanding of coding than me, because I guess CSS is a nightmare to work with while upgrading Reddit. But from my perspective, Reddit works just fine as-is, and whatever upgrades they have coming couldn't possibly justify stripping the individualization of subreddits.
