[Announcement] Admins have decided to remove custom CSS (what makes a subreddit look nice) from Reddit as a whole. We have added a "pro-css" icon in the sidebar to protest this decision.

In case you missed it, reddit admins are removing custom css from subreddits. It seems the reason is to make the site easier to use on mobile, specifically their official app.

That would hurt us in the following ways:

  • No more user flair

  • No more sidebar images

  • No more inline emotes and image macros

  • No more announcements, banners, and customised header navigation

  • No custom css at all.

They have not announced exactly what will remain as features. They want to replace the custom css with widgets that would allow customisation of only a few things like header image.

The pro-css icon is from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProCSS/

this post goes into more details.

Pro CSS, but also maybe a little tired of the graphics used in this subs design.

And the sunflower banner, and I 100% agree with the art at the bottom but it's been there forever.

I agree, some changes to the graphics would be nice. It's been the same for a long time.

Maybe once we know what the new tools are, we have an open call for user submited content?

I agree completely. I think the colour scheme could use some touching up as well. Look at /r/socialism, the top looks really good and the sidebar images look really good. I think some of the colours class really poorly.

I wonder what the admins intend to replace the current scheme with. It might actually be really easy to use and make it look good on mobile. We'll see.

What would we make the bar at the top?

I like the art at the bottom. The Not My Comrades image upsets trolls, liberals, and importantly outs brocialists who think it's a direct insult towards them in particular.

I think it's what The Situationists would call, well, a situation.

If you have good CSS, it can work on mobile. If it is their app, they can fucking fix it.

Doesn't mobile ignore CSS anyway? So what's the problem? It does on my phone at least.

The official reddit mobile app and the mobile version of the site do ignore it, I think. A mobile browser viewing the normal site handles CSS just fine, same as web browsers do.

u/Hooman2004 i can see. that's a problem for pro css subs Apr 28 '17

I can see the subreddit, that means you are not.
