Mistakes happen. It almost did with me today when I went to post, clicked accidently, and was asked if I wanted to destroy the community I've spent months building. Who thought it was smart UI design to put these 2 options side by side?

Same one who made Hawaii's missile warning system.

The best part is they're hardly even "decisions" in the technical sense but rather sheer arrogance from the Lemmy maintainers. Lemmy is a completely mismanaged project, and the maintainers are also piece of shit tankies.

Or... the project simply is still not up to par for public use. Many features are more of a proof-of-concept than finished, many more features don't even exist yet. One of those is dm-ing other people for example. Your sent messages are displayed in your inbox.

Use sync for lemmy (Android), we have a unified inbox that manages that nicely, and mitigates most other stupid decisions made by the Lemmy devs.

...said the slightly hypocritical user who regularly comments. It must be torture for you.

(...) and was asked if I wanted to destroy (...)

Let's hope this doesn't happen to someone when that person is shaky (trembling hands) !
... this deserves to be tested, like :
1- creating a dummy community then,
2- click on this delete Community button and go through with it just to see if there is ...
3- an option to repair the damage and go back.

I also like having the edit post choice right next to the delete post choice, especially since there's no confirmation dialogue when selecting delete post.

I’d suggest using an alternative UI. They’re almost all better than the original.
