Sorry you feel that way. I'd be happy to explain why I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but my experience is that doing that just makes people angry.

The following will not be satisfying, and everyone who ever hears it says "no, that's not why!" but...it's a truism among developers that people hate anything they're not used to or anything which feels scaled down, even if it should be. They always prefer the difficult but familiar to thingy thingy thingy

yeah so my main thing is that I can't really use it on mobile unless I hold my phone horizonally - = otherwise I can't properly read the titles of threads and a bunch of other stuff. and as far as respondimg to stuff, forget it. like holding my phone in "landscape mode" while trying to type doesn't really work, bc my phone isn't meant for that sort of thing. I can't just "get used to that." sorry.

Hmmm, I wasn't aware of this. I'll see if I can reproduce.
Cool. Not sure if it matters, but I'm using an Android.

I really really doubt it's a coincidence that both the users who just commented joined the site after the current mobile version was setup.

They always prefer the difficult but familiar to the easier but new. In this case that'd be something like constantly pinching to zoom in and out, which is obviously terrible from a usability standpoint, but is something people have just priced in as the cost of using mobile.

Most of mine is done of my laptop. I only use my phone when I don't have my computer in front of me.
And hope you’re doing well!

I do the most of my reading on mobile but post with a laptop.
