  • long press the image…

    It doesn’t do that for me. It only brings up the menu upon clicking the three dots on the right.

    I think buttons would fly in the face of the minimalist aesthetic of the app.

    I think my suggestion would only make it more minimalistic.

    I don’t think I am explaining it right.

    The current image lightbox has four buttons at the bottom - (Upvote), (comments), (share), and (menu)

    My suggestion is to replace the (upvote) & (comment) buttons with a wide (download) button. Comments can still be opened with a slide up gesture and there are multiple places to upvote.

    (Personal assumption) I think people rarely use the comment button and the upvote button in the lightbox itself.






  • You are right, it’s true everywhere. It’s human nature to be wary of people you don’t understand. But, for some things, you’d expect countries that are a lot further ahead in progressivism to be “nicer”, especially since, you know, they industrialised and became richer on the backs of poorer countries.

    Though I suppose that’s very difficult to quantitatively measure exactly - how progressive someone is (on the scale of a country). How more accepting they are than other countries.

    But there’s also room for letting people air out their issues without being told that “everyone is like this, stop whining”. That’s literally what the Russian goverment does, they implicitly tell their populace that democracy doesn’t work and that this is the best deal they’ll ever get.

    All libertarians care about is how they can make money and benefit from a situation.

    They don’t care others are getting fucked as long as they can have their tea.

    They don’t actually want a free market, they want a market where they can burrow their tendrils deep into society and suck off as much as they can.
