okay I think I finally found a sane way to structure my CSS so that it lines up with the abstractions that I’m using in my HTML generation code, and it is now significantly more comfortable for me to use. it’s still pretty awful a lot of the time, but at least I can tell at a glance which CSS rules are for which components of the actual webpage

also I’m still waiting for reddit to approve my API key request (I haven’t heard anything from them at all) and at this point I’m thinking of just using a workaround that is probably against ToS instead
