So I think the best strat here is for the users who did get the new layout to just stop using the desktop version of the site for a while, like a week or a month or however long their ‘experiment’ is supposed to last, while the users who didn’t get the new layout should keep using the desktop version like normal or, perhaps, use it even more than usual.

My guess is that they’re doing basic A/B testing on the new layout to see if it would boost engagement: the userbase is split roughly 50/50 between the 2 versions and they are going to be comparing the engagement data between the 2 groups of users to see if it’s worth it switching everyone to the new layout or not.

Basically, if you got the new layout and don’t like it - don’t use it. If engagement metrics of group B (new layout) are lower than those of group A (no change), the experiment will be considered a failure and they will have to reverse the change.

If your tumblr suddenly looks like twitter - it’s a sign to log off and go touch some grass! (or just use the mobile app since that engagement data isn’t relevant to this particular experiment)

Don’t just not use it, send feedback too!

There’s a “contact us” option to send feedback about features being launched. GIVE FEEDBACK IN THE APPROPRIATE SPACE!

Not to “As a professional UX researcher” on this thread, but yeah, as a professional UX researcher, now is the exact time to provide clear (but kind!! the poor UX team is usually not responsible for these decisions) feedback on what your thoughts are in regards to this change.

In my job, if I were doing an AB test on a site layout and every person I interviewed said “I hate it, it looks like knockoff twitter, please put the old one back” then I would be very excited to include a nice little bullet point in my report that says “[x] number of participants disliked the new layout :)”

Yes, such a claim makes him look like a small-minded piece of shit. To us. But we still shouldn’t help Musk create revisionist history.

Musk bought Twitter because he fucked around and found out. He wanted to fuck with Twitter’s stock price by feigning interest in buying it. Since that’s illegal, he was then cornered into actually buying it for an insanely inflated price.

He’s a transphobe. He’s a bad father. But he’s also a fucking idiot.

This. Please remember that he committed blatant market manipulation by not disclosing that he owned shares of Twitter when he was fucking with the stock market. The SEC was watching him very closely already, and so when the cost became more than what the entire company was worth, he had no choice. Remember when he had his gaggle of lawyers try to get him out of it by saying Twitter didn’t disclose all of the information? That wasn’t Twitter, it was him trying desperately to get out of a purchase he didn’t want in the first place.

a lot of people seem to have trouble accepting that cynical embittered teenagers are literally right about the education system. in fact when people express that something is making them suffer suicidally it generally means there is something wrong. big news for people who desperately fucking hate kids

remember that interviews are not about giving a good and honest first impression that they’ll carefully consider. interviews are about saying the special words and phrases they’re looking for that give you points and when they tally those up whoever earned the most job points wins

they don’t want to “know you” they want you to walk in there and regurgitate everything the job description said

isnt even a joke btw if you’re autistic and/or unemployed and nobody taught you this yet i’m really sorry

Some spins on the “mostly male team with a token woman” trope:

• The woman is trans and stayed in her old circle of bros even after transition
• The woman is the only one in her circle of “girls” who didn’t turn out to be a trans man

• Everyone is bigender. They take turns being the one woman.

How long have you been a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! (card game, manga, anime, etc.)?

20 years or more (1st manga came out in 1996 and anime was sub 2000/dub2001)

15-19 years (2004-2008)

10-14 years (2009-2013)

5-9 years (2014-2018)

1-4 years (2019-2022)

less than a year

I’m not a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! but I like voting on polls

I included years with the options in hopes that it’ll be helpful in visualizing the time span or something.

I’ll say I fall in the first category since I was watching the dubbed anime from whenever it first started airing on KidsWB. I didn’t even know it was anime, although I recognized the style was “similar” and asked my older sister why InuYasha was considered anime but Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! weren’t :) I was a smart kid.

Since I discovered that “step out of your comfort zone” is supposed to mean “safely experiment with doing small things to expand your life experience” and not “ignore the fact that you are disabled and cause yourself physical and emotional pain until you have a meltdown and then stay in bed for two days straight”, my life has drastically improved.

It means what now???
