Personally it’s not that it’s slow, it just holds on to weird patterns for way too long, kinda like how new outlook just feels like old outlook with a new skin. Whenever I open edge, it loads. Whenever I open firefox, it’s the “Firefox is installing updates” window that’s probably been there since the 90s. Refusing to honor the ‘close multiple tabs’ etc. It’s minor stuff but when there’s an objectively better way to do things, it’s just annoying.
Same I’ve replaced finishing pikmin with blasting through the oracles games
I’m trying to get the last few cards in the pokemon trading card game on switch, I’ve been cheating with the rewind feature which has made life slightly less painful but it seems to pre calculate your coin flips so not as powerful as it could be, also played some tabletop simulator and started doing dragon riding races in WoW as part of that event. It’s been a crazy year for releases so it’s nice having some downtime
Not incredibly surprising given how little it’s been updated and how things like clicking links doesn’t work. Definitely exhausted by how aggressively things are just getting worse now.
Others have said it better but sorry that you had to experience that
If lemmy doesn’t support expanding remote hosted images from platforms like imgur or whatever that’s probably a good feature to look for in a new platform. If it does, things are obviously getting to a point where you need to reduce what you need to worry about, to help focus on moderation and keeping things running. Block listing urls is easier than running and hoping on an ai.
Otherwise I think disabling images or giving the ability only to financial supporters or strongly verified accounts via upvote counts, number of reputable or discussed posts, or and age of account are the only sane moves.
Personally I don’t mind clicking through for an image if it interests me.
