@tootapp @securescientist It is your prerogative to add or not add whichever feature you want. To me it is sad, again someone else making choices for me because it seems I cannot make them for myself. There are other Mastodon / Fediverse apps and the good thing is the Supreme Court isn’t telling me this is my only choice. Please note that this is not an attack on you rather an open discourse. 6 comments
@tootapp @securescientist Maybe Steve Jobs was right that people don’t know what they want and that focus groups are a waste of time. I suggest you consider a public poll about things of your app if you don’t want to actually hear feedback from them about it. It seems you already had your mind made up and just wanted to get the social karma.  @socialuser @securescientist There is no such thing as "karma" on the Fediverse, so no, that was not it. Please try to assume people are discussing in good faith and don't make accusations like that. The poll is to see how people feel about the idea of limited badges for mentions vs no badges at all. I am not considering adding badges for everything, that is a hard design choice. The option is just there to let people voice their disagreement with that if they like. @tootapp There definitely is “social karma” in the fediverse. It may not be Reddit karma per as but it’s still a nice ego stroke. Have a good day. I really enjoyed your App and have been using it for a very long time. I believe my first Mastodon account was in 2016 so this isn’t my first time around this rodeo. It actually pains me to stop using your app but with your attitude I think I must. Possibly back to Metatext again. Sigh @socialuser This isn't exactly a new stance, though? Since day one I've made it clear that this is something that is not and will not be supported? The new question here is whether to soften that stance a little bit? @tootapp That is the first I have heard that you are anti-badges. You made a public poll that in my case missed the option of user selectable badges for a litany of things so I commented. |

@socialuser @securescientist When you are designing a specifically social app, you have to take into account more than just the wishes of individual users. Sometimes because of situations where users would make choices that are good for them personally but bad for the entire community, and sometimes to avoid addictive traps.
Just because you personally can use something responsibly does not mean everyone else can.
