9 months agoAdam Frisch came within 600 votes of defeating Boebert without this much money to spend. The money is likely given freely now by people who hate Boebert more than they like Frisch. They never want to hear about this trashier version of Sarah Palin again and donate make sure he wins, but if the donations are primarily coming from outside his conservative district, this election could still be decided by Trump’s ability to motivate people who would still enthusiasticly vote Boebert to show up at the polls. If that happens and true conservatives just sit this one out rather than voting for “the other side”, CO may end up sending this train wreck back to DC.
They prefer a more polished UI? I know there are several mobile apps that improve on the default browser experience of visiting https://lemmy.world/, but you have to admit that the initial UX of Lemmy leaves room for improvement. This is the same reason many open-source projects gave up on IRC. The die-hard FOSS advocates raised the “but Slack isn’t an open standard” argument only to be shouted down by a larger part of the community with “IRC’s UX sucks and is a barrier to new contributors”.
https://kbin.social/ has a lot of issues (like calling communities magazines and general performance/stability), but the UI/UX is so much better than Lemmy.
