    I can believe going through the account deletion is inconvenient.

    But you cannot make me believe that just deleting the app is. Takes less than 5 seconds unless your shortcut is millions of homescreens deep.

    I mean I got everything I use often on one screen, and everything I use occasionally is like 4 extra icons on the second. You cannot convince me that is inconvenient.

    And even if you could, just ignoring it is even less inconvenient.

    Then you have to decide how much effort it is to prevent their emails showing up. Either following them or going back and deleting the account are your choices. One is less convenient and more thorough. Decide between those.

    I did it around the time he bought the place. I didn’t even know anything about his politics at the time, but I barely used it and that picture of him with the funk with that shit eating grin and the general sentiment of everybody’s else’s feelings on it just pissed me off. Once the election started I was happy to be far away.

      I stand by my statement. Users are inconvenienced by literally anything.

      Not that I think that is a good trait, I hate it! But seeing what a lot of services did and do only confirms it.

      A colleague of mine still sees no harm in reddit. We’re in a professional it field and I left years ago (api debacle) ! Sigh.

        That’s just diluting the word. If doing literally anything different at all is considered “inconvenient”, then people are just fucking lazy af. Like an over the top amount of lazy.

        If supporting a Nazi platform is considered easier to them than having even a raindrop of effort, then they’re probably not worth the oxygen they’re taking from someone else, tbh.

        At least assuming they’re not autistic or some other disability. I can totally see it with certain conditions, but other than that it’s just shameful.

          OK let me be clear.

          Users are over the top lazy as fuck.

          Anyone working in view of IT can see that very clearly. It’s not on overstatement.

          Were talking about optimizing clicks here, where every trivial step will lose a lot of users because they can’t be bothered.

          The thought of who runs the platform and such does not bother any normal user.

          But anyhow I am not here to convince you nor do I gain anything from posting. Just voicing what I see as the truth.

            I’m not even disagreeing mostly, I’m just saying that the use of “inconvenient” has gotten to an extremely hedonistic level.

            Pretty soon if I have to blink 2 extra times a day for some reason that’ll be inconvenient.
