jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I noticed a new cirled question-mark icon next to my Fediverse address on my Mastodon account.
Tapping it exposed a pop-up.
It seems like it is a message to me.
Following on from yesterday's blog post about the new design for profiles coming in Mastodon 4.6... here is the video of @imanijoy recent talk at @fossdesign where they discuss the challenges and detailed thought that goes into the design of new features (and the redesign of existing ones). ๐๏ธ
If you really believe in the silly 250 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?
Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.
I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.
