Can't we just be happy that we're not on Reddit instead of fighting over which UI we prefer!?
Many of us left reddit due to which ~~AI~~ UI we prefer. So I can see why this happens now.
Not picking on you, but I see people use "AI" instead of "UI" more and more these days and I wonder if it's part of the reason all startups suddenly feel like they have to introduce AI features β everyone keeps talking about how important it is after all
I wonder what these people think AI means...
In my case it is auto correct on my phone. Maybe because people text about AI so much that their auto correct thinks it is supposed to be AI instead of UI. Like mine did.
I thought it was due to wanting to try a non corporate alternative to social media. Before Spez mishandling of the incident I was ready to just use old.reddit.com on Firefox and figure out how to get RES onto mobile, or just use it less and more on desktop only. Had he just quietly let the protest pass by without throwing a tantrum I'd probably still be using reddit.
That plays a role for a lot of people probably. I'd think the majority got ripped over the edge by the third party app thing because the default UI in the app and browser are just worse.
Honestly, if reddit has just been upfront and said "we need to consolidate where people browse our site on mobile for our IPO", people would still have been annoyed but i don't think all the drama would have taken place. The issue was really just in the way that the management handled the situation by giving devs a "fuck you" API pricing and acting like TPA devs were being unreasonable for not wanting to pay the ridiculous fees. If they had just been upfront and honest then I don't think I'd be here on lemmy.
Didn't most of us? If you were happy using reddit app you are almost certainly still drooling on yourself scrolling through the super sexy posts on /askreddit and think Lemmy is probably the name of a band that nerds like.
The fact we can even pick between multiple UIs is a blessing lol
Agreed.
I use two and itβs okay. I uninstalled Reddit app today and deleted every account. I already had did it on the main start of July but the other accounts had to follow through
I'm not fighting, I just want sync users to shut the fuck up and stop advertising their app at every possible minute, because those of us who aren't using it have already decided it isn't the one for us.
