we already collectively dislike a substantial number of 0.18+'s UI decisions, most of which are minor but are already adding up to be that much more annoying collectively. maybe we can sand some of these off with theming in the future. for now though please hang with this and petition them to merge better decisions in the future, thanks

  • I think it’s reasonable to be frustrated about the changes, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to be frustrated with the Lemmy devs for making the changes, if that makes sense? It’s their software and they can make the changes they think are best. It’s good if they can consider how other people use it, but it’s not reasonable to expect them to tailor the software for your specific needs. I think it’s pretty uncool to expect them to put in a bunch of free labor to make things work exactly how you want them to work. Obviously it’s great if they can accommodate everybody’s needs and can listen / respond to feedback, but this doesn’t seem like a productive way to communicate that, and I think this kind of communication really isn’t a good look for this platform, and might signal that this is acceptable behaviour on here… and I kind of hope it’s not?
