I disagree, but I do think that this particular redesign is some of the worst. Not sure how that got approved, even from a brand recognition standpoint. It genuinely looks like an off brand.
I wouldn't say boring, I'd say frustrating. You cannot use Lemmy for any kind of tech support if you're not using Linux or FOSS software.
If you make a post asking for help with a software you need, someone will ignore you and tell you to use some garbage ass incomparable FOSS version. Use anything not Linux? Use Linux, idiot.
You pay for YouTube premium because it's $5 per month using the family plan, and you're okay with paying a few bucks for entertainment? Go die from cancer. Actually, though, someone called me a racist and a Holocaust denier for saying I pay for YouTube premium since I split it between my family, and it's pretty damn cheap. Their comments were heavily upvoted and mine were downvoted.
Lemmy genuinely isn't fun anymore. It's so incredibly toxic.
Oh ya, don't forget the fuck cars community telling me it's my fault my city doesn't have great public transit? Like bro, I moved here a year ago. This city was built hundreds of years ago. How the fuck is that my fault?
I never said you made death threats. You responded to my comment, "joking" that the developer grabbed his money and bailed. Your original comment to my comment perfectly encapsulates how FOSS users treat him. You accused him of running away after getting money.
Even if he bailed, it wasn't for the small flow of cash. It was because of how the FOSS users were treating him. You are welcome to go look at all of the previous Sync posts back when Sync launched, seeing the thousands of comments bashing him for putting ads in the app, and calling him very mean things.
I also never said Lemmy is dead. I said people like you are going to ruin Lemmy. Learn to read.
I mean no website back then was telling you to block them if you want. They just didn't use javascript to detect blockers.
Also web hosting has gone WAY up. My simple static website used to cost $5 per month to host. Now it's $30 for the same spec server. The ones that are closer to $5 are so insanely oversold and slow, a website takes a good 30-45 seconds to load.
Or, "I wish I wasn't getting death threats, posts about me attacking my character, all because I released a really good app but included ads so I could get paid for it".
So again, for the millionth time, Lemmy nerds expect everything to be free and without ads. That's not how life works, and you throw a hissy fit like a child.
