Is there a need for Font-awesome?

[cjfloss]

Looking through the code I could only find two references to font-awesome icons and searching on github for fa I get the same results.

On index.php#L80 for the reddit icon and index.php#L81 for the info icon.

So is there really a need for inporting all the font awesome for just two icons or am I missing something?

Removing it and running locally on firefox in the index page I get this:

With font-awesome

Yeah we don't need to load all of font awesome. It's overkill
