I used old reddit and RIF. I don't think I ever actually saw someone's snoo icon thingy. A lot of the new reddit stuff just passed me by.

Interesting perspective. I only joined after the new UI was implemented, so I didn't even take that into account. What did you see instead, or did old Reddit just not have icons at all?
Old Reddit didnโt have user icons at all.
As I recall, we didn't have anything.
Same boat. I thought those were something you had to go to somebodies profile to see.
Anytime I saw new reddit I think I blocked it out of my mind entirely, like an eldritch horror
New reddit is just so dang ugly. I would see it sometimes if I was not on a browser with RES installed and me logged in. I don't know how anybody can use it. I guess new people don't knnow any better, but anyone from the Before Times who uses new reddit scares me.
How do you older Reddit users feel about Lemmy's UI? I've seen a lot of people say it's very remiscient of old Reddit.
Yeah, I much prefer being able to use my own avatar.
Never really thought about it, but you're right the Snoo icons lack a lot of personality compared to traditional pfps
For sure a nice change of pace I can say.
Not only do I dislike that little Reddit dood, I don't like the name of them, I find the paid versions rather clashy and ugly, and it feels a bit annoying.
