That's my hangup. This promises a lot but only delivers on not having algorithms for your content and not having ads. That's great but adblock takes care of the ads and the algorithms are often not so big a deal (e.g. when subscribing to a small subreddit). I see literally not reason why it would encourage the language buzzwords.

And frankly, the UI is clunky af!

Hello! Adblock doesn't take care of the fact that everything Facebook does is built around the concept of serving ads. Even if you block them, you're still using an ad network.

Lyra isn't aiming to move into Reddit's space. Reddit is a machine for sorting strangers' comments by interestingness.

The UI is constantly improving; can you tell us some specific issues you have so that we can look at them?
