@fullstackthaumaturge But why does Mastodon do it? Eugen isn't beholden to any management.

@csepp All I can say is CSS avoids cutting off text when unless explicitly told to. In an attitude that an ugly page is better than an illegible page... Apparantly webdevs or their bosses dislike this default! 
:garfield:fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@csepp idk the reasoning is probably to keep the height consistent (or that you should only add short texts?), it does look a bit more messy with varying height rows. But I do prefer being able to read the whole thing as well, still |
@csepp Speaking as a web dev, it isn't always the developers' decision. If management wants a pixel-for-pixel match between the mockup and the implementation, there's only so much a developer can do short of quitting en masse or unionizing and staging a wildcat strike (something most techies won't consider because too many of them mistake themselves for Ayn Rand heroes).
