I’m going to be honest, the whole blackout seemed pretty ineffective.
Also lmao at people complaining about the UI of Lemmy - did they fully expect a finished polished website to just be ready for us to migrate to?
sensiblepuffinA 2 day blackout was never going to do anything. I'm a little disappointed that we (r/gunners) aren't extending it indefinitely. But it seemed like there wasn't quite enough popular support for it.
And yeah, that's a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Turns out it costs time and money to build a site like reddit. Although honestly, most of the features that I personally miss are from apps like Reddit is fun or RES. Not so much from the main Reddit interface.
Yep. Setting a hard cutoff point of 48h limited the impact quite a bit. I’ve seen other subs go on “read-only” mode indefinitely and I wonder if r/Gunners would even entertain the thought, and should there be a vote for it I honestly doubt it’ll pass…
And yeah, Lemmy itself is just another platform like Reddit was before the little annoyances were added; most of what I liked wasn’t from Reddit but Apollo. Reckon Lemmy would do better once Mlem on iOS is out of beta or there’s a proper App around.
PanzerMlem has promise, but it just needs to have more time and resources behind it.
