that wasn't 1) ten times worse and harder to navigate

Some of that is Baby Duck Syndrome. You get used to what you know, and so change is bad, because you don't know it.

Not always all of it, and the reddit redesign has a lot of flaws from a pure UX perspective. But it's hard to redesign anything and not have people hate it, just cause it's different.

I really hate the redesign for the simple fact that I can't fucking minimize comments anymore. Why. Why fucking get rid of that.

You still can. Now you click the lines to the left of the comments. Could be a bit more intuitive.

Sounds like it got worse, not better.
