mastodon Timeline - FediScanner

This week's Oncology appointment is still reverberating in my head, about 3/4 of an hours conversation about the medications for this next period and some I wasn't keen to take. This was after several appointments were cancelled by the hospital so it turned out to be quite a long time from when I was supposedly to start one of the meds, glad I didn't. Medications have huge benefits but also downsides and sometimes need more time to have the pros and cons explained after the original pros and cons conversations. It takes time to process what your body is doing, how it's reacting, or how it's likely to react. I so thank goodness for the NHS but also know it needs more funding and it certainly needs protecting from the greed of thos ewho want to privotise it. For me it's good news for now and I get to hang around (I haven't upset enough people yet! )#fediverse #mastodon #cancersurvivor #NHS

The good news is you can turn off the new behaviour of the boost button, with an option in the settings.

But you have to turn it off. You have to know the setting is there and then disable it, when new interface behaviour should be #optIn. That is how #consent is supposed to work.

#Mastodon knows this. They trumpet from the rooftops how they are the superior social network that does cool stuff like respect consent. Except when they don't, because it might stand in the way of their new feature.

Changing one-click buttons into context menus seems to be popular 💩 at #Mastodon towers. First hashtags, now the boost button.

When people click a hashtag, they want to see posts under that hashtag. I basically never want a two-click option to go straight from a hashtag in a post to probing every post *that user* posted on that hashtag. Yet now every interaction requires two clicks instead of one to get to the thing almost everybody wants.

And now they've done the same with the boost button.

You know, the post visibility setting was at the top of the box. Then it was moved to the bottom of the box. Now it's at the top of the box again. It was a drop-down. Now it's a pop-up. It used to handle just visibility. Now it's combined with something else I'd really rather never see and want nothing to do with, but which seems to be being thrust down everyone's throats (changing the boost button??)

This disorienting 💩 is bad for users. Did everyone at #Mastodon towers skip #usability class?

I’m not sure if anyone has ever quoted any of my toots. Probably not. Would I get a notification if it would happen? Simply using a link to my toot probably doesn’t trigger anything on my side.

Still more vite problems on the 4.5.1 upgrade. It didn't think anything had changed so it skipped the build. Managed to get around it and built successfully. Maybe an artifact of the issues I had upgrading to 4.5.
