True, which is why I prefaced about the nitpick

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.

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.

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.”

Not to nitpick but not ALL prisons in the US are for-profit. They should be illegal though.

Fun fact - other countries that have for-profit prisons include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Chile, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, South Korea and Thailand.

This won’t do much since most of these prisons operate under state jurisdiction, but in 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order to stop the United States Department of Justice from renewing further contracts with private prisons.

Looks similar to Confluence but more of a pain to get set up.

A lot of people here deleted their Reddit accounts when they left.

Same, as well as several other anime communities. There is a OPM community here but so far it’s just a bot reposting Reddit posts with no other engagement.

More people need to bring up migrating to lemmy on those subreddits.

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.

Reddit does this too except if you are in anonymous browsing mode the link to open in app takes you to the download page in the App Store, even if you have it installed already. Literally no way to open that page in the app.
