The idea of "keep it simple, stupid" is lost. Everything, from beauracracy to apps to games to social interactions, is mired in unnecessary complexity that makes it difficult for everyone to keep up. I want a simple website with information that I need (thank you Wikipedia for upholding this). I want an airline loyalty membership without insane fine-print rules. I want to tip services based on service provided and not mess around a tablet's interface. I want dental insurance where I'm not leaving the office with a bill that's almost half my rent becuase they did something my insurance said in fine-print wouldn't cover. Maybe these aren't "old person" traits and I'm just here venting. But damn if I don't miss when certain things were simpler.

Utter confidence in an area without expertise and without room for doubt or challenge.

Pretty much anything star wars related now. Disney marketed star wars hard and I'm drinking the kool aid like my life depends on it.

Birds are getting absolutely DECIMATED around the world. Just like amphibians and insects. Fuck it's so terrible.

I'm easing into it. With more usage, more content, more users, and more updates, it'll be like I never knew Reddit. Growing pains, whatever you want to call it, just makes me happy to be part of a new adventure for sharing and consuming content.

I'm no UX/UI expert, but I hope Lemmy makes it easier to filter content on the main page, collapse comments, and find specific subcommunities and users.

NYC - walking and subway! I had a car and now I'm so happy to live in an area I don't need it. Also on the plus side, my calves have grown substantially...
