Gregory's ServerAnother @mammoth gimmick gone wrong.
It does sentiment analysis of posts.
It interprets a humorous post as “negative”.
This is why you don’t automate everything through A.I., folks.

 On @mammoth, long pressing buttons brings up a submenu with additional buttons. There’s no explanation of what these buttons do. And pressing them does nothing. This is a big usability bug. Lots of options in the settings. That’s one thing I will give @mammoth. Probably more options than most clients. It perhaps there’s too many options in @mammoth. Chess and number swipe are cute. But it makes me feel that there’s too much cruft in this app. And after witnessing the AR, I tend to believ this is the case. Final thing I’m reviewing for @mammoth is search. It’s awful. I did a search for “Mastodon” and there’s not posts. I know the technical reason why, but why not explain to new users how search works on Mastodon? Otherwise they’re going to think it’s broken. You can all be assured that hashtags work in @mammoth, but you can only see this if you select a hashtag first. To bad posts with a hashtag don’t immediately show up. Again, huge usability problem here. My opinion on @mammoth: A buggy, confusing app with too many features that are implemented poorly. There's too many dark patterns. And there's legit security issues pertaining to so-called "private" messages. I do not recommend this app. |
Someone asked me to screenshot @mammoth’s AR function.
And there’s nothing.
It loads my camera, and nothing else is to be seen.
Sorry to disappoint you all.
See screenshot.
