True. I feel like usually anything I say about UI is interpreted as just my opinion, which in developer’s minds is just as valid as anyone else’s opinion. It maybe kinda makes sense, since those developers don’t really know me, but there is nothing I can say to change their minds. So they remain stuck with a bad, inefficient design for no good reason.
GNOME desktop environment is a good example that having a good UI is possible.
In Lemmy’s case users are forced to take matters into their own hands: !plugins
