In case you didn't know and for everyone else that prefers the old UI there is a clone for lemmy.

https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

lemmy.world has it installed at https://old.lemmy.world. The creator has it running at https://mlmym.org/ for other instances that don't have it installed.

They did the opposite and shoved a pointless shorts section in the middle of your subscription page so you can't see what you actually want to look at.

I don't see the relevancy of what you've chosen to quote from this article. Unless you're comparing Sanders campaign donors to Saudi Arabia?

To be clear, some of the comments you removed were from the person you are now replying to.

Intent is irrelevant. Humans don't work that way and will continue to downvote what they don't like/agree with and upvote what they do like/agree with. Creating a system that ignores how people work and asking them to please use it how you want will never work.

Everyone should just embrace how it's actually used and move on.

If you're in the US you haven't lost yet. Still federally illegal, so you're still breaking federal law in legal States.

They can do that in the image as well. For example:

Broadcast not cable, and owned by Disney.

Someone else mentioned old.lemmy.world if you like the old reddit UI. That one is closer to what I want personally.

But yeah, options is great. Just need a way to save a preference now so it will use my preferred UI when logged in. Either that or throw together a redirect plugin.

More like, it's less sketchy if you pay for a domain at all. .ml was free, what did they think was going to happen?

Some have sure, most I doubt. The largest instance certainly hasn't.

Copy/pasted text stays with time too and doesn't have the issues that pictures of text do. Also hosted images disappear all the time.

They are legally obligated for some US citizens. California (~40 million people) has a law similar to GDPR.

They also don't have a way to check where you live so you can do the request and select either option (GDPR or CCPA) and they will fulfill the request.

I do and it's already available at https://old.lemmy.world for anyone who prefers it.

They asked for a specific example and you failed to provide one. You had 45 choices and couldn't even pick one?

Doubling down I see. It's an opinion and while I may not agree with whoever you think is the best president you can't really be wrong.

I'm just annoyed at people who rant about other peoples opinions but refuse to offer their own when asked. You aren't arguing in good faith here.

For the record I don't think FDR was the best president but I also disagree with some of your characterizations.

(not so) fun fact! That California law was a constitutional amendment and is still on the books. It's only unenforceable due to a supreme court ruling. You can see where that's going.

Fortunately it's looking like Californian's will get to vote to repeal that amendment next year.

Yes, there is. You have 705 post score and 565 comment score.

Already answered. It's clear you were arguing in bad faith and refusing to give others the same curtesy you were provided.

All voting is a popularity contest, so I guess you don't like voting or democracy?

It wouldn't be a third party, it would be a replacement party. It's happened many times, and not always with a name change.

I don't mind them existing either. My issue is with how they show up in the subscription feed now. I'd prefer separate feeds for shorts.

See, that wasn't so hard and I actually agree with you too. Now why couldn't you have given the other user the curtesy of answering their question and having a discussion in good faith instead of ranting about their opinion without addressing anything they said?

yet they're not open to being alerted to problem posts (implied by the "checkmate" sass)

This is not the case, not they say "report and move on". Reporting is literally alerting them to the problem post.

I read the article, it's also shit and fails to properly talk about the issue instead of ranting about data loss.

Did you read the article? Because as far as I can see it fails to actually say shit about the problem. From just this article I can see why people are blaming the author for not having redundancy.

The Arstechnica articles however do actually say what's going on, so yeah this appears to be a real issue with these drives disconnecting.

Unfortunately this is even worse than the default lemmy UI with even more wasted space on desktop. But hey, more options for people is always nice and hopefully some will like this.
