Somebody clearly stating their preferences is much further from a troll than your comment.

By that logic nobody should ever switch to lemmy because it'll always be a decade behind the times.
This is an actual use case for 'the customer is always right'. No matter how much you prefer the layout, there will be others that prefer something else. And if we want to attract more users, that's something that we'll need to consider.
By far the most off-putting thing about lemmy is how people think themselves too good to consider the preferences and experiences of the average user coming from reddit.
As someone who tried their damnedest to help make VOAT work and watched it die first from extremist trolls and then from inactivity... we don't want EVERYONE we can get, but we do need a lot more than we have. We should have several 5000+ upvoted posts per hour, and we're nowhere near that.
