    i appreciate the message but what is that ui design???

    the floating hearts that go over the text. the neon pink background. the fact that this serious pact is in all lowercase (i know im typing in all lowercase, but i think the fedipact is different from an internet forum). the weird text animation for hyperlinks that makes it unreadable for a second. this does not lead to any reasonable credibility





  • you cant really return to normalcy from this, but i dont think most users care. whenever i get into a casual convo about the fediverse online, the general consensus from people is ‘yeah reddit isnt going to die, i’ll stay on reddit for my communities’. so if the majority think reddit isn’t going to die and continue using the site, it probably wont die! it’ll just go back to normal with a few million less users (which actually isnt that much for a big site) unless spez hilariously fucks up

    really the fediverse is just a lot of people who like tech at the end of the day, not the average web user


  • i like the community but

    1. this app needs a better ui…i know that comes secondary but it just seems to vague. whats with the weirdly small coloured thread indicators?
    2. theres gotta be a better explanation of federation out there. there’s gotta be. i didn’t understand it for days because i couldnt find any decent sources on lemmy

  • silvertoChat@beehaw.organybody else excited for the 12th?

    it will probably be good for lemmy (if onboarding becomes less vague), but horrible for reddit. given the amount of subs straight up shutting down on the 12th i feel like that’ll lead into a butterfly effect? i also wonder what spez will do. probably something that seems specifically designed to make it worse for reddit
