I use the Old Desktop U.I.. Thankfully it is still in operation, so I don’t see anyone’s avatar at all. I think avatars give Reddit a cartoonish and childish look. Often I can tell close to right away if someone is posting in bad faith. I usually cease interacting with them once I see the truth of a subject posted. Such people are usually craving attention, so I try not to give them any. It saves my time and it frustrates them.
