look I’m not a huge fan of mastodon at this point, but nobody deserves to be slandered as an “X rival”
i hate the new look haha ahhh. i’m hoping there’s a setting to roll it back
Yeah my TL has basically been people going “ew” all morning. I mean that’s just what often happens when sites change anything (I remember people being really grumpy for weeks about Twitter changing to circle avatars iirc).
Hasn’t hit my instance yet though.
yeah, generally it’s okay to think something looks fine and not like when they add a bunch of weird dead space and outlines and contrast that no one asked for. especially mastodon which is like . . . not venture capital
Yeah as I’ve been hearing more it sounds really bad and poorly thought out (there’s an accessibility level called “quiet public”???) so I guess I underestimated it.
What the fuck does quiet public mean?
I suspect it’s my favorite posting level, Unlisted, where it’s public beyond my followers but doesn’t go to the local or federated feeds unless I or someone else boosts it. In the old version, it has an unlocked lock compared to nothing for public and a locked lock for followers only.
For “quiet public” it’s… A crescent moon?
mashaAllah
Ohhhh ok. Yeah that’s a pretty drilled-down distinction haha
I put this down with whatever random open web thing they were doing with, like Facebook
