That looks hideous and distracting to me. I don't want my stuff that cluttered. I wouldn't be able to focus.

That's what my other monitors are for. And that changes things from landscape format to portrait format (roughly, not exactly), and I am used to it. And if I really want to be focused on a website, I want its main information right in front of me. Just wider.
I think it should look a bit more like old.reddit + RES (though not a copy). Pretty much if the choice is between looking more like old.reddit + RES or looking like new Reddit, go with the old.
Some specific issues I am seeing:
Half my screen is dead space, and why is the sidebar right up against the main column of text?
Extraneous stuff should be right (or left, depending on layout) justified, putting space between the main content and the sidebar. Also, let the center column be wider if someone has a wider screen.
I would like to be able to expand text or images without going all the way into the post. Basically, push everything else down and show the post, but leave the user on the front page and don't load the comments.
No idea yet, we'll see what comes.
What's wrong with helping a country defend itself from invasion by imperial warmongers?
And to be clear, yes, I am calling Russia imperial warmongers. They have been actively invading neighboring countries for decades to expand themselves. And what is an empire if not a nation built on the conquest of other countries?
Supporting Ukraine is the only U.S. military action since WW2 that I can truly support. Even our action in response to 9/11 was fucked up.
I suspect there will be specific servers/communities that support that content.
I went exploring some other sites I use to really look at them, and the one that I use for reading a lot of serial stories (Royal Road) also technically has dead space, but it has filled that dead space with a reasonably nice, neutral to slightly dark landscape. So there is something there other than void (or light if you don't use dark mode), but it's not something that demands your attention. It makes a pleasant background to have when focusing on text in the center of the screen for a long time.
