What UI design trend do you hate the most? (lemmy.ml)

I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

Compare the legacy Wikipedia design with the new one. Limiting the line width makes it so much easier to read, cause you don't loose your place as often when you jump to the next line. This is especially infuriating to me, cause some languages still use the old design. I always loathe using German Wikipedia cause of this.

I agree that it can be bad when lines are excessively short, or when designers make no adjustments for desktop browsers.
