#not even an email!

[kawaiiers]

This is the worst article I may have ever read. It lies right from the get go. First of all, of course, it's not easier to use, definitely not for me. But I'll get to that point.

"The website looks a bit different — it’s simpler; less cluttered; and, hopefully, easier to use." Yes, because it's "less cluttered" it's harder to use. It's harder to find something that was right there from the get go, in the open! Ctrl+F exists for a reason and now it's been rendered useless. I have no idea why on desktop, where You have all the space in the world, You would hide language changing and other useful links. I get doing it on a phone screen, it's tiny and hard to use, but a desktop screen is exactly the opposite. On desktop You can open multiple links at the same time, You can find links easily and there's enough space to show them. Hiding items just makes me click more and ergo lose more time!

"After three years of development" lol just lol

"The new design is the culmination of years of research, dozens of consultations with movement groups and volunteers, and thousands of points of feedback from Wikipedia readers." Who? Your mothers?

"The updated interface improves readability by reducing distraction and clutter and making pages easier to read" Oh, so people with bad ADHD, I guess. I don't see how a person with a normally functioning brain would have problems with a single sidebar.

"It introduces changes to the navigation and layout of the site, adds persistent elements such as a sticky header" Claim to make the site more user friendly, yet add a sticky element. HILARIOUS. Sticky elements are a million times more distracting than a normal sidebar xD Not to mention they're ugly and annoying all hell. But yes, it's more comfortable to use, ofc

"Our data shows that these changes improve usability, and save time currently spent in scrolling, searching, and navigating – all of which adds up to an easier and more modern reading experience, so that more people will love reading and contributing to Wikipedia." I HAVE made an account on wikipedia after the change indeed. To change the layout back to the good one. Using the new wikipedia every time i use someone else's computer or open it in incognito feels like being skinned. Slow, terrifying and painful.

"In the future, we plan on continuing to listen to our audiences and adapt and improve our experiences based on their needs" youtube talk. Translation: "we plan on making the site more hard to use because we love mocking our userbase"

Anyway modern UX drives me off the internet so I guess it's a good thing after all

I feel like the age of having a "burner email" is gone. Out of curiosity,

Love that for our first three tutes, which we're online, my lecturers been pretty good about having everything up and online and telling us what's happening a decent time before. Today's the FIRST fucking time we have one in person and there's NOTHING

17 year old, CEO Tim Drake canceling a press conference and then putting out a statement like, “Sorry for canceling last min, Alfred said that he was going to run my laptop through the dishwasher if I didn’t clean my room. I think he’d do it :/. Also, wasn’t really in the mood. Cya -Tim.”

Have you had Nazi propaganda blazed onto your dashboard? Me too.

Its no secret that Tumblr doesn't give a damn about its user base. It's been made abundantly clear to me that not only do they not care. Tumblr is allowing posts with direct links to nazi propaganda and chatroom sites to be blazed!

The only reason I found this post? Because Tumblr put it in front of my face on my dashboard.

In the notes of this post there were dozens of reblogs with things like "is this an ARG?" "Oh whats this, save for later". One comment that said "tempting".

This is a neo nazi trying to recruit you.

Report this immediately. Do not click links. Email support@tumblr.com telling them that you don't want neo nazis paying them to show us this garbage.

If you want to know how I figured out what this was in more detail, I'll put it under a read more so that everyone can be a little safer and a little smarter out there.

First: I went to the persons blog.

This one in particular is clever enough to have an ask about palestinian donations as their first post. The second is the one screenshot above.

I kept scrolling. Most are youtube links posted with 0 notes or interaction. This is another link to the same site here.

If you scroll far enough, you'll see they've reblogged an original post.

If you directly copy and paste this text into google, you'll find exactly one result. A PDF in Bulgarian hosted on a website named aobg.org.

Sounds legit, right?

Its the official website for the Bulgarian Society of Anthroposophy. A 'new age spiritual movement based on German idealism'. A cult.

As soon as I made the connection, I knew that clicking the original link would lead me to something similar. I felt confident enough to click it safely (DO NOT TRY AT HOME), and was launched into the shittiest little pro Nazi website with a live chatroom on the side.

There are always signs, always queues. Do not be stupid out there. These are NOT ARGs. If you aren't sure, block and move on.
