It's unfortunate that you're casting feminism as a choice between being hip or not. It's a framing that diverts attention from the real issue and towards whether or not it's perceived to be cool to care about other people.
But, yeah, being feminist is definitely hipper than dismissing feminists.
One way to improve DN's demographics might be to design for the desired demographic rather than the one it has.
It looks like a simple oversight to you because it completely conforms to you. It probably looks less like a simple oversight to those that can't participate. In fact, it might even look like a signal that they shouldn't be here, which is worth taking issue with.
I think Wake is great because it has hooks into my workflow. I probably wouldn't use it if I couldn't just claw a keyboard shortcut from Sketch which then pushes to Slack. I dig the interfacelessness of the whole thing. Also a big fan of the recent desktop notifications update so I can see when someone comments without looking at another app.
Any thoughts on how you think about these kinds of workflow integrations? Can you do backflips or anything like that?
Who cares if you hate this style? It's a personal website. If you truly must register an opinion why don't you at least frame it with something relevant beyond your personal whims? Why don't you like this site, specifically? What goals do you imagine it is trying to solve that it falls short of?
You reduce design to aesthetics and personal opinion, and the people here prop you up (this currently has the most upvotes by a wide margin) because they get to feel superior about something. It's gross and it drags us all down.
Look at me, I have a keyboard.
This was not real life. Duped.
This is super distracting. Coupled with all the bright colors in the actual, oddly off-center sign in area, this page is super confusing.
A little restraint would go a long way here.
Dreamweaver is going to render you meaningless. A butterfly flapped its wings in Nova Scotia.
Ha ha there are companies and categories.
