my sentiment. Mastodon has serious UX issues, and onboarding issues.

some users have serious ideology issues, resembling linuxians and feel the need to make fun of 'noobs.

the protocol activitypub has issues regarding privacy (there is none) and problems with after post audience changes.

there is no de-activate account feature.

@katharina_buholzer well, you need to be more specific when you mention UI issues. I'm the maintainer of a niche client, tooter, on a niche mobile os, SailfishOs, and we likes are just trying to keep up with the bugs. This is unpaid work we do because we're into community company and not community as commodity. Onboarding is an offensive word, btw.

I do not know wha onboarding might be offensive. It is a short word for the process of getting people onto a platform.

the UX issues I mention are more related to the web interface. I am aware of some clients out there enhancing the experience. As a rule: I do not recommend using any social media app on a smartphone.

@katharina_buholzer when people, in corporate speak, say onboarding, i see cattle being prodded onto wagons to the slaughterhouse. Or worse. Ok, WHICH mastodon web client? The 'official one' I suppose?
