skeuomorphism is often seen as making interface versions of things match their real life counterparts, but it's more than just that.
consider a sheet of paper on a desk; you can switch out any kind of paper, any shape, any lines or grids or colors, and one thing remains constant: there's depth. the paper is not perfectly flush against the desk. there is a gentle rise, a soft shadow, a shape. even white paper on a white table will still stand out, just a little.
here? there is nothing. it is a completely flat wasteland. do you know where the textbox bounds begin and end? it's impossible. the "create a text post" may as well be part of the post, were it not for the fact that centering is apparently impossible.
i loathe modern design. i loathe this kind of "absolutist minimalism".
the greatest thing computer interfaces ever developed was depth, and every single fucking idiot has made it their holy mission to eliminate it.
