Not even joking, I use this nickname for her frequently.

Only nitpicking this because I have a family member named Millie. If you shorten Mildred, it would be Milly with a “y”
Millie spelled like this isn’t short for anything, it’s the full name.
Kbin looks way too much like the latest version of Reddit that is over designed and cumbersome.
Plenty of third party apps popping up for lemmy with Apollo like UI/UX that is much better (like wefwef or Memmy for example).
Yeah I’m curious if all the people in the comments that say they are using and enjoying it also have friends that signed up or if it’s just all meme accounts.
What is there to do? Is it just meme accounts or did your friends start using it too?
I mostly use instagram to interact with IRL friends and follow some meme accounts, so I’m curious what this app even looks like if my friends aren’t on it.
I always find articles like this very odd because the cost of living can be so drastically different in different areas of the US.
Like, this headline makes sense to me if they only interviewed people living in California or another state that is pretty expensive to live in.
Yeah that makes sense. I have no problem using wefwef for the time being until these other apps iron the kinks out.
Yeah, it doesn’t work a lot of the time. It also let me log in but says I don’t subscribe to any communities (which is wrong) and doesn’t show many any communities when I use search.
Man I’m in my 30s and still do bunny ears to tie my shoes. Never really learned the “correct” way. My shoes do come untied a lot so maybe it’s time.
I have way more bugs on Memmy. I can’t even reply to most comments in that app for some reason. Wefwef can be a little finicky but smoother overall for me.
Honestly, they probably like the feeling of “power” (as sad as that sounds) that comes with moderating a community as large as theirs on Reddit.
Definitely not. It’s what’s known as a “dark pattern” in the industry.
Oof, you’re talking to the wrong guy. I’m literally a user experience designer. Not even joking.
User interface just means the styling of the website. The colors, button styles, typography, line-spacing, imagery, etc. These guys usually build out pattern libraries or design systems for the UX guys and developers to work with.
User experience design is much more broad, hard to give a general definition. Basically try design “architect” I suppose, that creates blueprints based on data extrapolated through analytics and research.
Sometimes they go as far as to build out prototypes and deliverables for developers using the pattern library created by the UI designers.
This might be the only actual old person trait in this thread (OP included). The rest is basically just “I don’t want to be fucked over.”
Looks similar to Confluence but more of a pain to get set up.
If it does, I hope it comes over as the original version of the sub when there was a good balance of people from all over the political spectrum and everyone made fun of themselves. These days it feels like a right wing meme sub for the most part where they just make fun of the left, so it kind of lost what made it unique and fun to engage with.
True, which is why I prefaced about the nitpick
