Pretty uninteresting. I've started reading I have no mouth and i must scream, and started playing gloomwood, too.
Both are amazing. That's all i got.

Jesus fucking christ. How cold is it in sweden???
In Saudi arabia it's like 30 degrees here and even that's enough to make me freeze. You don't even have the sun? I'd immediately freeze to death.
Liberalism is against most things that the right wing of the political spectrum explicitly stands for
I'm assuming you're talking in a US perspective.
Leftism describes a spectrum of political ideologies that seeks to minimize hierarchies and desires to achieve equality and egalitarianism. Liberalism is a pro-capitalist ideology, and capitalism is hierarchial and is unequal. Thus, liberalism is right wing. Progressivism isn't related to right or left wing. You can be a communist but socially conservative. You can be fiscally conservative and be progressive. In the US, being left wing or right wing is mainly measured on how progressive, or if you support social programs (a little leftist, but still can be right wing, just center-right). Liberalism is right wing. Conservatism is far right.
Photon is amazing, and I use it daily. I love it. I'm sorry about the users in the comments that don't understand what "subjective" means.
Thank you for all your work, and keep doing what you're doing!
Don't be rude, they can't help it. They have a natural instinct to talk about US politics, even if completely unrelated. They are victims ;(

What's the deal with loops? i have an account, and it's buggy, uncomplete, and not even open source/federated (Yes, i know it will be) But why release it so early? it's clearly unfinished.
Honestly, I can't understand why people like compact mode instead of cards. Then again, I've always been bad at handling multiple information at once. To each his own, i guess
As for the statistics, those came from my own bias, but I see there are a lot of people that love the old lemmy UI, so it's false. Sorry.
I'm pretty sure we agree at this point. My end point was that it is in the hands of the instance maintainers and Xylight (he has agreed) and that is what you are saying here, too.
Good, but slow
After your first post, i've thought about your points, and i've changed my opinions a little.
I agree, we should replace the default lemmy UI as a whole. Out with it. But photon wasn't designed to be a "default" UI. It was designed as an alternative.
The point of a default UI is to be as accessible as possible, yet still functional. That's why most users on the fediverse usually use a 3rd party client (Including me, i use photon + raccoon on mobile). While the current lemmy UI checks the "performance" box, the functionality box? not so much. It feels like everytime i use it i am overwhelmed with information density, and the auto expand feature implementation is just bad. Photon does the opposite. It checks the functionality box, but scratches the performance box. Even on a modern PC, photon is choppy for me, and the frosted glass effect is not helping.
I don't think we should have a default lemmy UI, as in, every instance uses the same UI. As i said in the first post, it should be up to the instance maintainer to choose their own UI. This comes with its own problems. Lemmy.world's photon is outdated, and so is lemdro.id.
Ultimately, this is in the hands of the instance maintainers, and Xylight himself. He is rewriting photon for more performance, so my answer may change.
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object. I wonder which one of them will be the first to throw a tantrum.
The whole left and right label is very ambiguous and hard for me to define. I agree liberalism is an umbrella term for a variety of political ideologies. I was mainly talking about classic liberalism, while it seems that you are talking about social liberalism. Social liberalism, at most, is center left. So is social democracy. I was mainly thinking about neoliberalism, and such.
