The reason this is done is because you can see everything your browser is doing, but you can't see everything an application is doing without disassembling it.

I want very much to go back to websites. Apps are stupid.

the reason is children. for some reason the most recent generation of kids requires apps instead of sites. god forbid they have to remember an address.

just look at the fuckload of people who cant use lemmy without an 'app'

this is one of my peeeves

One benefit an app for something like Lemmy offers is significantly better customization.

thats a copout for the site sucking. lemmy looks like someone forgot the css. one of the reasons i chose mbin, its not fugly and very user-configurable.

no app required

one of the reasons i picked dbzer0 is that the layout just looks Better (ie doesnt look like someone forgot the css) :]
