EDIT: assuming here that "just make the page simple" is not an option. If the page layout is advanced enough that lacking CSS is a serious instance, you'll need two versions (or a version and an "export") anyway.
An option that I strongly don't recommend but it is doable, is to make the page with tables, then format the tables with display:flex or display:grid and the adequate related properties for the "modernized" view for browsers that support CSS.
Then again, nothing really prevents you from doing things the better way: making two pages and linking from one to the ther with a link like
It's even easier to maintain, in particular if you have a good workflow / build system for composing either page from the data you want to show.
Wasn't it also known as Jabber back in its fair day? How does that sound in the 2020s, anyway?
UI is not really a problem. Every time I hear complains about a given FOSS client of something "UI" not being "modern" it's basically complaining "waaa waaa this does not look exactly like Discord, I can't find a thing that is obviously labelled as a button!" or some such thing. Which is weird because, honestly, all chat apps like Signal, Telegram, Conversation or Gajim do basically have the exact same look: a pane for chatrooms, a pane for current chatroom, and a pane for typing. There: that UI was literally solved in the 90s.
Speaking of 90s, Winamp is from the 90s and the UI is doing quite well, to the point more modern programs intentionally want to look Winampy (eg.: Audacious).
UX however... it has quite a number of issues, such as there not being a practical way to know if all of the client, the server and service you want to use support the features you want, in particular encryption and message archiving.
Even the "beforehand" / "onboarding" UX is annoying: would anyone here be able to point to the "join-lemmy" equivalent of the XMPPverse? Or point to a generalist server with long-term lifetime, kinda like how freenode was (note: was) for IRC?
If I had to venture, I'd say if an important group actually put effort into setting up and servicing long-term XMPP infra in the style and generalism that freenode was, then probably it could gain some good traction. If anything, it could help doing the join between "upgrade people from IRC" and "upgrade people from modern silos".
"Always" is a long time on the internet, until it isn't.
What matters is to celebrate the now. Today's ten thousand. (@jbk@discuss.tchncs.de already linked it for me).
Plex has paywalled my server!
Skill issue tbh.

It's on us (all of us).
Apparently.

Yes.
Shittiest post of the week in the Fedivere, up there ↑.
If you are going to be this shitty, dismissive and misinformative, you can head back to Twitter.
They literally describe their infra as "Gnome OS". They spoke loudly in the previews to Gnome 3 against terminal users having the right to customize their terminal. They want every Gnome install to carry and be limited to the "Gnome brand". They are drunk on the corporate kool-aid and I would surmise it won't be long before we see Activate your Gnome account" and "GnomePilot", considering they are also drunk on Microsoft influences.
They are, currently, a net negative for the classial Linux experience.
Not a problem. If I managed a distro, I'd have already dropped Gnome back in, like, 36, in favor of MATE and XFCE anyway.
If their intent is to kill you, phoning 911 is a waste of time. You are now alone. Fight for your life. Take down as many nazis as you can.
