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?
New reddit tried to fix something nobody thought was broken. New reddit and its app was meanwhile annoying and broken as fuck.
Agreed. I clung to the old reddit and swore to quit Reddit once they took that away.
Turns out they managed to make me quit before that happened lol.
