  • This post makes the Beehaw admins look really bad, to be honest. Personally, I had not even really noticed any big differences, so if you hadn’t told me I wouldn’t even know about them. The small differences that I did notice seem like improvements to me.

    However, this post seems to be needlessly criticizing the Lemmy devs without any actual constructive feedback. The post is nothing more than “We would like to make you aware that the experience got worse and you SHOULD BLAME the devs!!” to me. It doesn’t help anybody. It just makes you look very unprofessional, entitled and will damage your relation with the Lemmy devs. If you can’t code and improve Lemmy yourself that way, that’s totally fine. Don’t like an update? That fine too! But if you want to be actually helpful and have your voice heard, go to Lemmy’s Github page and give the devs constructive feedback. Report bugs when you run into issues or do a feature request for changes you’d like to see. Enter discussions about other bugs/requests. There are so many things you could do without the need to be a programmer.

    But don’t post a vague complaint to your community, pointing fingers and hoping to get more people angry to pressure the devs into what you want. I came to Beehaw because it promised to be a safespace. A positive place. The fact that an admin posted this complaint here doesn’t reflect that idea at all to me.

    I really hope you guys can see why this behaviour is not desirable and a one-time thing. Otherwise, I can’t keep supporting Beehaw and would have to leave the instance for another, which would be a shame.
