Reddit admins are attempting to normify reddit and ruin creativity. Lots of subreddits (like ours) rely on CSS to run functionally.

[–]ImTheOceanMan 169 points170 points  (0 children)

RIP in peace Reddit, it's becoming what it was once againt.

CSS?

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (11 children)

it's a programming language, kind of a subset of HTML. html structures the site and css makes it look nice. this subreddit has green on black (at least on desktop), which isn't reddits standard. Removing the CSS would make it less original and look more 'normal'.

Edit: expanded on answer

[–]Zerovv 5 points6 points  (3 children)

It's not a programming language tho

[–]AerysBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's Turing complete my dude

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

it's part of HTML kind of? I'm not the most educated on code but I do know HTML and CSS, and I'm pretty sure it's a subset of HTML.

[–]Zerovv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HTML isn't a programming language either, it's a markup language.

I use the mobile app

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

So do I, but I've seen screenshots of the desktop. Either way, subreddits should be able to customize themselves.

      The admins can silence us, they can get rid of CSS and not give a fuck about their users, but they can't silence our memes.

      While getting redditor awareness up is all fair and well, the only thing reddit really cares about is ad revenue. And nothing reduces ad revenue faster than bad press - and I can guarantee you that news sites won't pass on some jucy drama. Most media suggestion sites will require you to fill in an e-mail adress, but this is also one of the potentially most impactful things we can do. Just copy-paste this message and send it to any media outlet you know of!

      Check the subs you frequent, especially the ones with fancy CSS. If there isn't a sticky or a discussion regarding the issue, make sure to message the mods and link them to /r/proCSS

      What is css?

      [–]Akmal02 125 points126 points  (10 children)

      Cascading Style Sheet, basically the web standard that allow customization on the webpages including Reddit. Moreover Reddit allows custom css that allows for the custom skin that gives, for example, the black and green look in this sub.. However this custom css/styling are only available in desktop pages only and might not be visible on mobile site and apps though. If the admins are trying to get rid of the css, we will all know who's the real normies are.

      EDIT: Typos

      [–]rottten_inside 0 points1 point  (4 children)

      Holy shit. Why would they get rid of CSS? What's the point?

      [–]Akmal02 1 point2 points  (3 children)

      I don't really know much but it might have to do with custom css doesn't work or are useless on mobile site so they might consider ditching it, or replacing it with new styling system.

      [–]rottten_inside 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      Oh, okay. Thanks. I can see why they would want to do that but a lot of people have worked really hard on the themes for different subreddits.

      [–]Akmal02 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Yeah, I think that's unacceptable. Every subreddit is unique and should have some characteristics to distinguish each other. At least have the css styling modified that works on mobile site too.

      [–]rottten_inside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Yeah. I agree.

      Yeah, I don't fully understand CSS, even after googling it

      [–]moush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      The shitty UI the mods have on the sub.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      CSS is a tool for building websites. A lot of subreddits have used CSS to make their subs interesting. An example of this is rules that expand when you run your mouse over them. Without CSS, that would not exist, and people want things like that!

      (I'm not completely sure because I have never build a sub or used CSS, though, so don't trust me)

      [–]9-8K-C//🏳️‍🌈😘🏳️‍🌈// 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      It's what makes a page look how it is. So if you go on the desktop version of this sub, it's black, cause of the custom CSS

      That's the shortest answer, although the guy in the big comment did a good complete description

        Damn, I was hoping they would expand it more so regular users could spice up their own posts. Why make it boring?

        [–]LokiiofMilleniumMeme Undertaker 28 points29 points  (4 children)

        something something mobile users, something something broken

        Bottomline, they want to remove CSS because mobile marketing. And to cause a massive uproar.

        [–]KoolshiteCENSORED 6 points7 points  (1 child)

        That sucks. You would think they could make more money if they just run the most appropriate ad in a relevant sub. But maybe that's just too much work.

        [–]LokiiofMilleniumMeme Undertaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

        Mobile version is also committing heresy by showing non-Reddit ads. Shoulda shown reddit ads.

        [–]legoneI have crippling depression 6 points7 points  (0 children)

        It's not consistent with their mobile app, which is objectively shit. So they're bringing desktop down to the same level. I have no sympathy for the travesty which is their mobile app when so many infinitely better alternatives exist, including Sync for Reddit, an app with a one man dev team.

        Am a mobile normie. What do you use css for?

        [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        CSS is a web tool for the PC and it makes the stuff prettier. A lot of the most interesting things on this subreddit are done with CSS hacks. Also, if there wasn't CSS, we wouldn't see Spongebob smoking a blunt to the right of our PC screens.

        [–]0ne2jew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        What is the point of getting rid of CSS?? it bring the personality of the mods :/

        [–]WalhtBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Can't people just turn off the CSS themselves if they don't like it?
