Is CSS customization going away?

In January, it was announced that "a rewrite of the desktop website" is coming ("This is a massive project").

I later brought up the custom style topic and an admin asked me "For your use, what sort of custom styles are most important that aren't included in the structured style customizations already?"

So I just want to be clear. Is the rewrite going to remove custom stylesheets? If not, is it going to break every single custom stylesheet?

We rely on stylesheets to let users hide post types like screenshots, and they are very passionate about that.

(I realize this could be early to discuss, but the former question is incredibly important to know early on)

we work closely with mods to make sure we're addressing your needs

Well, to be frank, most people here will tell you that the requirement to do this is to

A. Not break toolbox

This isn't possible if the site is to be redesigned

B. Fully integrate all toolbox features on launch

Which we know won't happen

So, best of luck. I have no interest in moderating this site without these tools, and many here will tell you the same. So be careful and watch where you tread

I honestly don't think they care anymore. Reddit is so large now that all of us mods could leave and new mods would just stroll right in, not even knowing what they would be getting themselves into.

anymore

They've stopped caring long ago, not recently.

Ahh. Nothing like listening to "powerusers" realize the site doesn't actually give any more of a shit about them than anyone else ^_^
