Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

(Please boost) Hey is there anyone on fedi that currently or has ever in the past worked as a librarian? Could you comment
1. An average day at work
2. Education requirements and what school is like
3. Average pay
4. Bonus: experiences with being autistic/neurodiverse, chronically ill or disabled in any way.

I’m sick of struggling to find work that accommodates my disabilities, I want stability but not at the cost of my well-being.

I've occasionally been seeing posts from people that I do not follow, and that are not labeled as boosts, on my Home timeline. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen?

When I joined #mastodon, I just wanted an open-source #twitter clone.

I got more than that. Subtle design differences made for healthier conversations in ways I wasn't expecting.

Here's a blog post to try to capture those differences and why they matter. https://scott.mn/2022/10/29/twitter_features_mastodon_is_better_without/

We've been playing Fury of Dracula for decades, since first edition, and I continue to wish it was a better game. It's about 2 hours of fun spread across 4 hours.

Today we got lucky and found Dracula in Rome early on, but he slipped away. When we finally cornered him again, he ambushed and gravely weakened our hunters with a New Vampire. They didn't have any juice left to take him out and he even managed to defeat Mina.

I think there are a few reasons why it differs. Qoto is a few versions behind default Mastodon. And this also allows for putting the followed stuff in other timelines, like in one of your own lists. I'm not sure default Mastodon can do this.
