The way the #Mastodon web interface changes functionality depending on your screen width is a smell IMHO. It reminds me of [[mystery meat]] navigation.

1. It sucks less than Twitter in many interesting ways.
2. It is developed by humans you can mostly directly talk to.
3. It can be improved by you or your friends, given it's open source.
4. It is only one out of many #Fediverse providers.
[[Fission]] is going to sponsor adding [[IPFS]] support to #Mastodon!

Very nicely done @bmann.

If you don't want to/can't join [[Mastodon]] or [[Pleroma]] (or [[Pixelfed]], etc.), please consider reaching out on [[Matrix]] or some other chat platform. I'm @flancian on Telegram.
Thank you!

#poll which is not a poll because [[Mastodon]] doesn't seem to support attaching both a picture and a poll to a post :)

I remember joking with a friend about how the [[Proceed to follow]] flow in Mastodon 3 was clunky.
What we didn't know was that Mastodon 4 would replace this with "Copy and paste this URL into the search field of your favourite Mastodon app or the web interface of your Mastodon server."

I have to say I still think pretty much the same way I did before and the anti-quote-toot camp is being overly conservative.

It makes me sad that you can't select several moderation/spam reports at once and take batch action in [[Mastodon]]. This because I know thousands of instance admins around the world are having to click 3-4 times per report even when processing tens/hundreds of these.
@Gargron @ClearlyClaire this would be really helpful when dealing with spam waves like the current one, pending a deeper solution?
