What happened to pagination? I have to scroll deep to find anything new, and I lose my place every time I come back. Now instead of clicking (or tapping) once to go to the page I need, I have to scroll over a dozen times each time to get back to where I was.
It’s fucking stupid and only serves to take further advantage of the “instant gratification” crowd. i.e. the useful idiots wasting away on twitter.
It’s part of their conditioning to only focus on the “new” and the “now”, never what came before. That way they can constantly “consume” their entire lives and never look back and appreciate what they’ve always had.
It’s very effective. The design damage that twitter has done to the internet is going to take generations to overcome.
I’m glad Lemmy didn’t follow through with (all) the bad design decisions that went into reddit. The forced double-spacing is incredibly stupid, but at least clicking the title of a thread opens the thread instead of the link.
I hate when there is infinite scrolling, and the site puts important links on the bottom. You have to hold down the “end” key to see them, while the page churns with tons of requests as you look through the links.
Web design is really shit today. It’s always been shit, but now it’s responsive shit.
