informal PSA: we are sorry the UI got worse and more annoying to use, please blame Lemmy for all the shit that is now that little bit more irritating (beehaw.org)

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

not a good sign to find myself on a platform where fellow admins are criticizing the developers like this. in a healthy ecosystem we’d leverage more formal channels to help direct the development.

if lemmy can't handle us personally saying we dislike a significant number of the software-wide UI choices made by 0.18+, an upgrade that mind you we can't go back on, i feel like that speaks to a much less healthy ecosystem than this post. in any case, they're busy, we're busy, and most of the fixes we want aren't in the pipeline at all because they're administrative in nature, not cosmetic.
