Do people actually like all of the overdesigned clutter to the point where it makes them not want to switch sites?
To me, the stripped down clarity on Lemmy is a feature. I remember back in the day when people flocked to Facebook from MySpace, in large part because they were sick of eye gouging customized pages and just wanted a simple, consistent interface. The content, not the buttons to click on it are the draw right?
I understand and respect that you have a different opinion. People value things differently and think different about stuff, and I mean, that’s nice and human. I personally just think new reddit looks much cleaner and better compared to the old one.
