Do people actually like all of the overdesigned clutter to the point where it makes them not want to switch sites?

To me, the stripped down clarity on Lemmy is a feature. I remember back in the day when people flocked to Facebook from MySpace, in large part because they were sick of eye gouging customized pages and just wanted a simple, consistent interface. The content, not the buttons to click on it are the draw right?

    One thing I do dislike, the post width on desktop is limited. Between the sidebar always being shown and the container being 1140 px wide, the comment section ends up only being 760 px wide; way too narrow for me.

    I wrote a Stylus script for Firefox to make the posts full-width.

    URL starts with: https://lemmy.world/post URL starts with: https://lemmy.world/comment

    Script:

    .container, .container-lg, .container-md, .container-sm, .container-xl {
    	max-width: 100%;
    }
    
    .col-md-8 {
    	flex: 0 0 80%;
    	max-width: 80%;
    }
    
    .col-md-4 {
    	flex: 0 0 20%;
    	max-width: 20%;
    }
