I would like to visit dev.to more and more, I even have it in my bookmark-bar for quick access, but while the content is usually great, no question there, the social-media-lite presentation is turning me off. I would throw it in my feed-reader, but haven't found an actual throwable feed, yet (am I blind or is there none? due to the endless scrolling I can't even get to the footer on the homepage, to see if it's perhaps hidden there).
So yeah, call me social media fatigued (not that I use any, but this sounds like a string of words that could make sense to someone), but if there was a version without the emojis and notifications I would have probably come out of my cave sooner. Now I'm back to lurking.
I will also deactivate this account (not that I found an option to do so), that has been created a minute before this post, because holy crap, that's a lot of pre opted-in notifications, I never agreed to.
We're pretty proud of creating and/or working towards a design which we think brings a bit more humanity to the environment, and it's not going to be for everyone. Feel free to email yo@dev.to and we'll take care of your issues. I also just followed you in case you want to direct message me with any thoughts which could improve the place.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

We'll probably eventually have alt home pages depending on taste.
You can also access feeds at dev.to/feed and user feeds via dev.to/feed/ben etc.
But...
