 "oh nice, #mastoDev has a professional design team, this will allow them to keep closer interaction with the community since programmers can focus on code while the professional design team participates in community discussions and respond to accessibility criticism with valuable feedback from users." the #mastoDevs: (from: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/614 ) 30 comments
  @otyugh @elilla we've already got @megalodon and @moshidon and they do have the icons in question labeled!  @just_a_frog @elilla On other hand, I saw a person who doesn't understand how their speech in a foreign to them language is percepted. Unrelated, russia is a terrorist state and by default people living there support current regime and may be assumed of a specific behaviour. "See, that's your assumption that I'm against that person becouse they stated they live in russia" "Unrelated, russia is a terrorist state and by default people living there support current regime and may be assumed of a specific behaviour." Completely unrelated, right... @gemelen @just_a_frog @elilla "I'm not racist, I just think that all people from a specific country are terrorists" - you I never know what kind of crap will show up when I post something that acts as techbro bait, only that I'm guaranteed to have some asshole to block. but why exactly is a magical little surprise box of shit; they never cease to find creative ways to be a bigot. it's impressive. today's hot take its "everyone living in Russia is to be assumed to endorse the regime" and apparently the problem with the dev above is due to his Russianess. I'm sure that Putin himself ordered the Mastodon app buttons to remain unlabelled followed by ableist slur. cos that's how you criticise arrogant software devs, you punch down at the disabled @elilla professionals are ppl who get paid to do sth vs those who don't. that does not mean that they are good at doing their profession. i hope more ppl will understand this? @elilla hm, I can't see any such replies. I must be doing something right with instance moderation @kescher activepub doesn't fetch all replies that my instance got to your instance, unless you're following the reply author, or you're following me and I boost the replies. this is one of several not very intuitive features that people often think of as a bug but it's actually fundamental to keep the fedi as nice as it is (stuff don't get pushed everywhere, unless people in your instance have actively decided to subscribe to them; people you follow have boosted *my toot* into your timeline, not its replies.) @elilla Fair, that's something I hadn't thought about. Still, some replies are from instances I've limited   @elilla that devs attitude certainly explains why the official mastodon app is in the state it is compared to all the other 3rd party clients out there that maybe have listened to user feedback outch. I get having a good design team - and it's worth a lot, but feedback is also always worth a lot to your design team vision or not, if the users have an actual issue with the design choice it's maybe a smart idea to pass it up so the paid designers can consider it :(  @elilla@transmom.love absolutely based response tbh > It is a centrally managed open-source project. Its direction and feature set is not decided by the community. (src: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/22#issuecomment-1321075092) |
