  • It’s funny because, while not a 1-for-1 cultural fit, Mastodon’s site structure has felt much closer to Tumblr’s. I feel like the reason Twitter people keep saying Mastodon’s insufficient (while, eventually, flocking to BlueSky) is that BlueSky offers a more similar UX, in terms of shunting you along algorithmically. I don’t think there’s any issue with Mastodon’s UI (other than maybe PixelFed, I think it’s the closest Fediverse project to other mainstream social media UI) but I suspect the UX isn’t quite right for people expecting Twitter.

    However, I, as a Tumblr transplant, felt right at home.













  • I was reading an article where he claimed he wasn’t as hardline, as some, and his immigration policies were actually motivated by the guaranteed safety to everyone when we follow the rules (he gave the example of a migrant nearly dying from falling down a ravine during zir trek).

    Anyway, color me surprised~

    But I’m not talking about jumping to any buffer, right? I’m talking about jumping to any window configuration.

    Incidentally, you can easily still use tabs without taking up any further space. Turning off tab-bar mode will hide the tab bar, at the top, but you can still switch tabs (just without the visual cue).



  • First I’m hearing but that doesn’t surprise me; it’s probably better than most companies you could give your money to but, in any way they could, they don’t do anything truly groundbreaking such that I can justify to myself giving money rather than just keeping said money in my pocket (and, in turn, much more likely to go to mutual aid, charities, non-profits, or coöperatively-owned or union-backed businesses).

    They could have done a more traditional coöp, open-sourced their infrastructure (even if it was just the app.!), or really emphasized a particular stance or message they as a company would stand by…but they haven’t done any of those. They basically are just offering up YouTube but as a streaming service. But that doesn’t solve the myriad of issues that make a streaming service a business that (like most businesses) prey on their customers.
