“Again, Twitter’s interface was very intentionally designed to maximize the amount of time per day a person spends online. The Fediverse really doesn’t need that, but it has it anyway. That’s why I’m proposing that we reevaluate the way we design Fediverse interfaces and clients in light of how we can best strike a balance between creating a positive experience and one that puts the well-being of the person using your product first.”
I think lemmy already have a good amount of anti-design. The users don’t have a public visible karma pool, badges awarded, gold, etc. The voting system is used mostly to hide bad content, and not to sort it.
We also recently added a user setting to hide scores, which is def better for people who want to avoid obsessing over points. that’ll be in the next release.
OwO thank you.
