I browse different lemmy instances usually because the feed is always different. Was blown away when I recently went to lemmy.today, no clue when they did the change but whoever is in charge of the design has my admiration! *(chef’s kiss)*
Yeah. That place is safe harbor for UniversalMonk and all of his sock puppets. The admins even defend him. So, I gave it blocks from my feed. I won’t support a comm that supports that waste of flesh.
What did/does he do?
I found it too slow for my needs. But I wasn’t using the webui.
“Who is your daddy, and what does he do?”
Wow that is nice, is it released anywhere for others to modify/extend?
That looks vibe coded
Does it?
There’s the announcement on lemmy.today. It seems like MrManager made the theme themselves specifically for the lemmy.today instance? Could always ask them, though!
How?
You can tell by the vibes
/s
I’m too spoilt by PieFed and it’s themes.
Rounded corners, the weird rainbow hue, glossy effects and css animations are like the piss filter of vibe coded websites
Pity about the content :-(.
Neon blue/purple gradients, I’ve yet to find one that doesn’t look good 👌
I’m not a fan of how the post titles compete with the neon bars for my attention, but otherwise it looks nice.
Imagine someone that spends so much time on they make @PugJesus@piefed.social seem like one of the least active users you see. Who seemed to create multiple new communities daily. But had none of the knowledge, self awareness, or insight of PJ.
Talking to them often seemed like engaging with a poorly trained LLM. When they were on .world it wasn’t uncommon for my front page or the all page to be choked with their inane posts. With a volume that would make cm002 or return2ozma seem like they were slacking. Which combined with them creating alternate accounts, ultimately leading to an instance ban for ban evasion iirc.
Last I knew db0 was harboring them. Though honestly I’m sure they have multiple accounts on nearly every server there is.
“it’s not a toomah!”
Best is, if it follows prefers-color-scheme by default and with a toggle to overwrite.
It’s a shame, cause I generally like the design. But yeah the gloss and rounded corners does make me think of GPT. And that sidebar is doing the shitty “emoji in front of every sentence so you know what we mean right????? 🥺🥹😉😊😌”
It’s based on lemmy-ui which is AGPL-licensed, so I’d think it would have to be released somewhere?
A while back I made a spoof account called Universal Crunk. It used his same avatar but photoshopped to be flashing cash in front of the Raytheon HQ, wearing Ray-Bans and a Yankees hat, and smoking crack; the profile bio was the standard one he uses but his the language was changed to be praise of crypto, defense contractors, and hedge funds. I made one comment and within about 2 minutes it was nuked.
You missed a hell of an opportunity for a pun.
Which one?
Vibes, like retro vibes, like the popular vapor wave genre a few years ago who’s main YouTube channel but that name follows this same color motiff.
Dark mode default?
Flashy and pretty, but as a UI I find it places too much visual emphasis on form over function / style over substance. The biggest example I can give us that I don’t think the bright neon blue left border on posts should be so much more eye-catching than the post titles. If I were to change things, I would probably try to find a dimmer shade of blue for them, and/or add some additional decoration to post titles so that they more clearly are the first thing my eyes are drawn to when scanning the page.
Looks like a vibe coded website. They’ve taken over purple centric setups
I just scrolled through about two dozen comments in your recent history. Every single one focused on banning and blocking content in the fediverse.
Do you ever actually participate in the discussion?
Perhaps it’s because most if not all of those comments were part of a conversation with a troll that was trying to get me banned?
Maybe read for context instead of trying to find a witty response?
You’re having a conversation with a troll spanning across at least 10 different communities over three months?
The “context” is that “banning” is clearly one of your primary interests. You might consider starting a community on the subject.
No, he’s just a 54 year old who thinks he’s the smartest man in the room. While insulting you and then demands you listen to him.
It’s all projection from this man, ignore him.
Post things people didn’t want to hear, that’s it.
You can see that the troll in question has responded to you. They’re following me around like a lost puppy.
As for your comment-
If you want to take things out of context, I don’t much care, but I have far more conversations NOT about that nonsense than you seem to want to think.
But you do you.
Dude… how butthurt do you have to be to follow me around like this?
Said the guy that can’t stop following me around.
You and goat keep saying new names like any of them are gonna stick. Keep trying, I’m sure your Trump impression of stupid nicknames for people you don’t like is gonna work someday.
Dude… just stop. Everyone knows your alts. You’re not clever enough to hide the tells.
omg he’s still following you? what’d you do to trigger him so much?
Yeah. He hasn’t let up even a little bit. Seems he’s my new pet!
