Reddit was (still is?) considered as the "front page of the Internet" for over a decade. It's likely we all need time to unlearn the habits we picked up from Reddit. I know I still have that habit of refraining from commenting in certain threads because I don't want to potentially get bitched at.

I do wonder if a forum-based UI would help promote the kind of community you're looking for. Some people have suggested that text-only posts might help encourage more discussions and that is essentially what the forums are like. If you want to link to something for context, that just goes into the body text, rather than have the content show up first and foremost. That said, I don't think Beehaw is interested in switching to a forum-based UI. I could be wrong though.

That being said, CSS frameworks are still wonderful, used right they can save a lot of time during early development by outsourcing the majority of design to the framework devs.

That's actually my intent with using a CSS framework. A personal project of mine reached minimum viable product ~~statud~~ status (phones...) recently, I included bulma, and used some of its components for stuff like menus and modals. It was definitely faster than writing everything by hand early on. But I also ended up writing my own CSS anyway, especially with the grid, which is the foundation on which my app works on (it's a grid-based colour mixing app).

I agree, I think CSS frameworks have a place for prototyping and we shouldn't rely on them as a project moves towards a proper release 🤔

Then again, some people might think the obfuscation in 20+ classes is somehow a good thing...frankly, I think it's worse than inline styles. It's basically obfuscated inline styles!

Thank you for adding the warning 😁 I bet many lemmy admins and mods appreciate it!

❗ Word of warning

Using this tool in beehaw will get you banned for spamming. If you choose to use this in an instance you do not own, be sure you get explicit permission from the admins + mods of the target community before you do so.

Even if a community is meant for this sort of archiving, be sure to ask first. They might have a specific set of rules on choosing what they want to archive.

Please use this tool with care.

In the future, if you wish to link to an article, please include the link(s) to either the project's official site, their source repository, or both. Just in case a reader would rather look at the project first before digesting someone else's opinion. Plus, ItsFoss.com can be very ad-heavy (made the mistake of going there without an ad-blocker once) and not everyone uses ad-blockers.

Thanks!

I can't help but love when subreddits do this in response to the threat of removing mods if they stay private. I remember there were some that were posting "sexy" pics of John Oliver. iPhone was limited to posting "sexy" pics of Tim Cook. Working with what they have in order to continue their protests. I like it😁

It has malicious compliance written all over it 🙃

This talk of tolerance reminds me of something I read[^1]: Tolerance is a peace treaty, not a moral obligation. With this line of thought, the intolerance of intolerance stops being a paradox and makes a whole heck of a lot of sense. Intolerance broke that peace treaty before it even entered into it, IMO.

If people felt they can't really escape an essential product from a shitty company because of cost, or even convenience, I'd understand.

There were legitimate reasons from a design standpoint. It's badly balanced, the spacing is inconsistent...and it was everywhere.

Funny enough, I suspect what makes it a badly designed font might be why some people with dyslexia have an easier time reading with it. The badly balanced, poor spacing, probably made the letters in the font more distinguishable from one another.

If you (or anyone else that's interested) have the time, I think this article, "Why You Hate Comic Sans," goes over all of it pretty well.

And the amount of times we hear people trying to get out of paying the artist or designer...it really put me off trying to freelance as an artist (not to mention the anxiety making art brought me lately...)

Congrats, @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org!

The transparency of expenses really helps bolster trust and it's awesome we're compensating an artist for their work! Gives a little bit of hope.

The allegation section of the post is...wild. Good thing the dev had the presence of mind to record it. The audacity of the CEO to lie about what went on in the call...well, I guess I'm not surprised by that, but more surprised he got caught!

But I guess ultimately, how many people are going to hear about how easily Reddit's CEO will lie through his teeth? How many will care? It's kind of depressing to think about 😥
