It's one of those "it depends" things. I've been working on a pretty data-dense webapp and as time goes on we've been shaving bits of padding off and instead relying on elevation and borders to signify the UI hierarchy of the app.

For normie apps where there's hardly anything to present, I think all the spacing helps people not get overwhelmed as much.

about the Lemmy devs

I mean, the devs haven't made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.

Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs "in charge" even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.

on My fave meme of the year · c/tech · 7 pts · 3y

I just realized that in the last few months I haven't even heard anyone talk about the Metaverse in any way, even about how it's dead. The exception was the week of the Apple AR headset reveal, there was some commentary about how Apple was going out of their way to avoid being associated with it.

They're extremely pro-China. They deny the Uyghur genocide, by saying it's just as real as "white genocide". It's mostly criticisms that I would say are valid except that mixing in the Chinese propaganda kinda spoils the whole thing.

My expectation is that some people will just use it as an excuse because they actually enjoy Reddit turning into 9gag with NFTs. If it really becomes an issue, Lemmy will be forked, and new devs will lead it.

(There's also still kbin.)

on Reddit reopening · c/pathofexile · 2 pts · 3y

Assuming all the subs reopen, mods will find out which parts of what Reddit has been saying have been lies or not, and will find out if they're actually able to mod properly.

My suspicion is that, like earlier when /u/spez was lying about the mods themselves, many of the mod tools won't actually work like way /u/spez claims. The subs might not be closed any more, but I wouldn't be surprised if they fill up with spam, AI-written ads, and troll posts.
