Removing the username attribution is annoying and seems like an unhelpful change. Why was that decision made?
Edit: see admin response below. Not satisfactory, in my opinion. [4 awards]
In making the main feeds easier to digest, we had to make some hard choices on removing low usage attributes — and found that very few redditors in our mixed feeds actually click on the username. You’ll still be able to get the username attribution in our community page and comments page, where this info will be more relevant as people dive into conversations and interest areas [-149 points, admin]
I suddenly no longer feel a thirst for a refreshing, classic taste with fewer calories — as if millions of usernames suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced [-26 points, ]

Dude they just deprecated .compact. old reddit is next up on the chopping block. And since new reddit users never end up going through the effort to switch to old reddit the reddit admins will feel more and more justified in removing it.

Shirley no one can interpret this dramatic happening without Barfinn's scholarly input.
Okay. Let's pretend that Barfinn isn't pretending it isn't a c*nt hair from being "official". Let's also pretend that a small collective of other cowards don't feed into and prop up this nonsense.
I don't like pretending.

lmao what an asinine excuse
Like yeah I realize this is just to remove visibility of people with offensive sexual usernames and that’s a decision a company this size has to make and that’s fine, but this public reasoning
Absolutely no one has ever gone on their Reddit feed to have a conversation. Not once. Ever. I wholeheartedly agree with Reddit’s assessment of their userbase in that they can’t give the real reason to them because Redditors are braindead children who like to pretend it’s not a multibillion dollar global corporation, but Jesus Christ.

It's not even about offensive usernames. It's intended to disguise ads and cover up the fact that about 10 powerjannies control the whole site.

It's about the ads. They're going to make a move later on to neuter 3rd party apps, they want to make it look like ads were already pretty stealth in the official app, and the neutering has nothing to do with greed and money, it's about security and complicated tech stuff.
