I don’t use lemmy, so I don’t have to suffer it’s UI. I use Mbin/Kbin and the UI is almost perfect with the settings I changed, I get like 8-9 posts simply laid out with a little thumbnail and the title, no useless features or buttons. Just like old classic reddit, just slightly less compact.
But this “Photon UI” looks absolutely disgusting, I get it might be how the modern web is, but modern isn’t always a good thing, especially when talking about UI/UX.
Maybe. For me the worst change they made was removing custom colours for my contacts.
It was so much easier to convince people to use Signal when it had SMS support. I think while Signal needed to drop it, it wasn’t the time yet.
Don’t forget, I don’t have to vote either way.
Of course, but these examples are provably false. Flat earthers have accidentally disproved themselves many times.
If they are just having a giggle then whatever, but some are serious and that is damaging to the legitimacy of science, which is a dangerous path.
If the poster is open to discussion, perhaps some chat could make them reconsider their position. So I wouldnt necessarily downvote. Context is important, so I still wont just use it as a disagree button.
That would just be misinformation, something downvote was intended for.
People get emotional over a comment and click the downvote as it makes them feel empowered, that’s how it always ends up. Maybe just having upvotes only would work better.
I upvote content that may be useful or interesting to others, content I agree with and good jokes.
I try to only downvote spam, misinformation and any troll content.
Not globally, the world will just cut off America.
