If anything, I think LJ missed a trick by not having the option of doing a double subscription (so £3.99), and saying the extra £2 gets split between the instances, weighted by the time you spend time on them.
I think I might have felt differently at a stage of my life where I didn’t have nearly as much disposable income as I do now.
Over the past few years, I’ve adopted the attitude of trying my hardest to pay for the things that I would be genuinely disappointed if they went away.
I have system-wide ad block, so the $20 or whatever for Sync actually bought me nothing other than the knowledge that if LJ decides to pack up Sync and go and work for a FAANG instead, I don’t need to feel guilty.
This attitude would be unrecognisable to my younger self.

It’s a one-time $20. It’s literally in the meme were both commenting on.
Ah, so it’s, like, a brutalist, function over form preference?
From your perspective - yes, exactly that and I think that’s probably the best way you can understand it.
From my perspective, the old.reddit.com UI (with RES) is possibly the most beautifully designed web page I’ve ever encountered. I certainly couldn’t have used it almost daily for the past 12 years if that wasn’t the case.
I can focus on content much better when the UI is breathing. And I prefer clients that have images already expanded, to save me the clicks.
I can understand and respect that while thinking you’re insane. If I had to guess, your formative experience with technology was via touch screens and I think that would go a long way to explaining your preferences.
For me, post uniformity is important. It feels like I’m in control of the experience and I’m browsing rather than having things shoved in my face. I have Imagus installed so I only need to hover over a link to see the picture and so I can just look at the pictures I’m interested in - one at a time.
Full disclosure - my earliest experiences in the Internet were bulletin boards and that probably had a formative part in my preferences. I’m also probably undiagnosed something.
Information density and minimal whitespace. Can’t stand this trend of only using the middle third of the screen.
Not working for me.
In that you know to avoid the weirdo in the corner wearing a “Ask me why I know morse code” t-shirt at the party?
Tl;dr Italy invented the pizza but the US invented the pizzeria.
What do you mean “what happens”?
Either the CVR and FDR survive or they don’t and the final report is written without them. Neither are indestructible and they fail or are unrecoverable in a fraction of cases.
Really appreciate the response - thank you.
I just had a handful of domains tick over renewal on Google Domains in the past week, so I suppose I’ll have some time to see what Squarespace is like from an administration perspective before I end up having to commit to renewing with them.
I find it difficult to take your complaints seriously when you - by your own admission - were posting anti-trans dog whistles.
Nobody is obliged to host your shitty views - even on Lemmy.
In what way?

It even takes less of a cut than Patreon too.
Any reason you’re not just sticking with Squarespace?
Have you thought to see what other things are in the same category (IARC 2B) before contributing to the misinformation? It includes such “noxious” things as aloe vera and working as a carpenter or dry cleaner. It’s basically meaningless other than “there is a small body of weak evidence suggesting it may have some effect on cancer and we think there should be more research”.
Nope, sorry. If you’re a moron contributing to health misinformation you deserve the abuse you get. Too many good people died because of them - I don’t even care if you’re stupid or malicious anymore, I have no patience for either.
I have particular contempt for OP jUsT aSkInG qUeStIoNs with their “Make of that what you will”. It’s cowardly, slimy and shameful - if you’re going to be an idiot at least have the conviction to stand by it.
