New Mastodon is sending my eyes funny, what's going on with the new padding around stuff? The line spacing seems different/off too? Also, the new landing page is a *garbage* idea. We all know it.
fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@Shrigglepuss fun fact the landing page shit also means the REST api has to be publicly exposed, so even with authorized_fetch enabled, scrapers etc can now just get the json representation of posts
@f0x Fuck's sake what a mess. Who even wins anything in this redesign?
@Shrigglepuss Eugen's marketing brain i suppose, which is so clearly put above community safety
@f0x @Shrigglepuss I mean he would know what's safe, solely moderating however-many users m.s fed m.o has now.
@Shrigglepuss @f0x I think the argument used to be the opposite for other reasons.
I think it's complicated to have the timelines on the front pages, without explicit opt-in from very single person who's possible be on the.
Like it has to be a setting that's of by default, and turned on by users themselves. 🤷♀️
@Shrigglepuss @f0x or better yet, not an option at all. 🤷♀️
@maloki @Shrigglepuss if it really was so important it should've been similar/merged with the profile directory feature...
@Shrigglepuss (scrapers could always parse the html views of course, but that's an extra hurdle over just getting machine-readable data)
