    That’s cool, and I was amongst the biggest Apollo fangirls on the planet, but just because Apollo jumped off a cliff doesn’t mean you have to.

    This particular bit of design is not ideal.

    I’ve been designing UIs on iOS, Mac, and Windows for decades, and this is confusing.

    e: especially for newish users, who we’re trying to attract to Lemmy, right?

    Thanks!

    This is what I’m seeing:

    It’s not a username colour – that would be ideal. It’s a green shield badge.

    e: you said: ‘In addition, for admins, both local and remote it changes to red with or without a checkmark inside of the shield as a signal on what actions can be performed by admins on a given piece of content’

    I have no idea what you mean by this. We were talking about username colours, and that made sense, though I haven’t seen that. Now we’re on checkmarks, which I see, but doesn’t make sense. Does that make sense?

    Someone just told me these shields mean I’m a mod and can interact with these posts, but that’s not what it meant to me. To me, it means ‘this user is a mod’, which was super confusing.

    I’d instead color the edit menu ellipsis green, not add a shield.

    Those tags, like this shield, convey information about the user’s status, not what I can do. The ellipsis tells me what I can do.















  • That’s philosophically true, but mathematically, time is also an objective interval that exists regardless of our perspective. That interval doesn’t need humans to exist.

    Time passes whether humans exist or not. All animals exist in time, and a consciousness is not required. Are you suggesting time didn’t exist when nothing but bacteria existed?

    Time is an interval of spacetime, whether we exist to perceive it or not.
