      I don’t disagree at all, but I also think it’s important to keep the conversation focused on the benefits. eg: “I’m happy to trade Reddit’s UI for a platform that doesn’t encourage toxic behavior” (and so on).

      EDIT: The threadiverse will not ever be Reddit and we won’t be able to please everyone, I think it’s important to portray confidence in the platform and not get bogged down defending the (less important) flaws.

      Let’s keep guiding them to better UX

      I’ve been trying the Photon/Voyager approach, the issue is that some people despise Photon and modernist interfaces with a passion, there’s a comment on that thread I had to link to old.lemmy.zip

        I’ve been focused lately on changing some UI aspects of Photon to please both sides, compact mode is now comparable to old reddit (while looking good) and it’s the default. People who like them can switch to the cozy interface on their own.

        I don’t get why someone would hate Photon. It’s a great interface, beautifully constructed and organized. Overall, great to use.

        Wait, are you the real Blaze?

          Interface are always a very debatable topic.

          Well, yes, I mean I’m the one people usually see around here, not sure if that’s what you mean by “the one”

      Dbzer0 admin here. I’ve definitely noticed an increase in “spam” applications. Mostly stuff with applications that are blatantly wrong. Like just saying “yes” (multiple applications just had this???), “GOOGLE”, an ad (to us) and one time, somebody literally just copy and pasted our own text to us (image below)

      Though i’ve noticed a lot of good users applying too, coming from reddit. I think dealing with spam is fine if it means we get a lot of new users, and a fresh perspective to lemmy.
