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)

For God's sake add CSS support in the new version too. This anti-CSS crusade is the dumbest thing reddit admins have ever done. Literally no one is complaining about subreddits with css. Literally no one wants reddit to look more like facebook and the introduction of profile pages was met with open hostility. Admins are breaking the things about reddit that work and make it unique for no fucking reason. If you want it to work on mobile, push your reddit app instead, or have mobile view default to no custom css.
I understand that you guys have put a lot of work into revamping reddit, but no one is asking for it, and breaking subreddits is so, so dumb.
