I cannot put into words how profoundly stupid this “feature” is. AOL and Geocities pages were genuinely more user friendly. Whoever added it, refreshed the page and said “yeah, this works well” and left it in should be fired! …out of a cannon and into the Sun!

    So, keep in mind, Lemmy is an incredibly young platform. It’s still kinda buggy and it looks like they got caught a little bit flatfooted (which is fair, who would have considered that Spez was this much of an idiot prior to it happening).

    It’s likely that the project has a number of bugs that will have to be ironed out now that they’re rolling at a decently sized scale, and this is one of them. Things will likely get patched up fairly quickly, but it still requires dev time.

      I think we need to make the auto-updating feature opt-in. No sense in designing a software that DDOSes itself.

      How young is it? I suppose I could look that up.

      Look I just wanted to comment on your name okay? <3 Shin Chan!
