I’d say the downfall started with the AMA fiasco. It was never the same once they fired Victoria.

Reddit didn’t start out like that either. If Lemmy is to grow, it will take years of dedicated active use from us.

Then from that perspective, you’d be fine with people eating dogs right

She’s jealous of grandpa’s swag

If the design itself is bad, then something will eventually spring up that will replace it. That’s the beauty of nascent platforms; they haven’t completely cornered the market.

It doesn’t surprise me, but it does disappoint me. You’d think people would apply the logic they use for dogs to other animals as well, or at least see the hypocrisy.

I don’t get what’s so horrifying about eating dogs that wouldn’t be just as horrifying when applied to other animals. Why can’t we love other animals just as much as we love dogs?

Wait, they redesigned it again?

I’d like to see them ban other animal meat with just as much fervor.

Yeah, why do that when you can let women who hate men define feminism as ‘women who hate men’ lol

Like seriously, are we just gonna pretend that the feminist movement doesn’t have a ton of loud, hateful bigots who often take way too long to be kicked out? Hell, even TERFs still get to call themselves ‘feminists’ somehow.

I’d say it’s better if we just stop caring. If he wants to lose Twitter’s brand equity so bad, why don’t we let him?

Thankfully, Apple seems to be going back on the ‘less is more’ thing that Jony Ive started; at least when it comes to stuff like their laptops.

Then I can’t do anything to help, since I haven’t used Chrome in years

It’s not 100% guaranteed to work, but you can go with the angle that God left us as the custodians of the planet, and what we’re doing is destroying it; hence breaking our promise and showing God that he was wrong to have faith in us.

That sounds really interesting! I hope future product/UX designers see those kinds of videos and we can see a return of more ‘creative’ designs.

The problem is that very few people have the self-awareness required to understand what’s happening to them, especially when extremes are so…alluring. Nuance requires way too much higher-level thinking, and our monkey brains just love ‘thing good, other thing BAD’.

Also, there’s the comfort in belonging to a group of some sort. When there’s so many people who agree with so many of your beliefs, you see the extreme stuff they say and wonder to yourself ‘hm, but what if they’re right about this too?’

That’s also true.

The only thing you can do, really, is to take ‘detox’ breaks and perform self-assessment every now n’ then. I’ve noticed my own leanings shift towards extremes and it’s very hard to pull yourself out of it.

Modern ‘design’ is all about pushing physicality and tactility out of the way, in an attempt to focus as much of your attention into your display as possible. As a result, everything aside from your screen has been ‘pushed aside’.

I get it, I really do…but it’s all so depressingly sterile.

Not enough people were taught that they should treat other people how they, themselves, would like to be treated.

Well, it’s that or they just have zero self-respect.
