@XanIndigo yeah sounds about right 😅

actually i think this ones meant to emulate tweetdeck which i’m not sure is even open source? but still very much a “poweruser techy who cares more about Doing All The Things than an easy to learn UI”

@XanIndigo it predates the simplified interface by several years — i no longer remember the exact timeline but yeah for a while it was the only option and then it was the default

@XanIndigo when i joined fedi that was the default view which is why ive always been an app first user

@asya honestly you did an excellent job of conveying the experience of looking at that sweater haha

@asya havent emotionally recovered enough to comment on the actual image so will continue fixating on small details for the time being

@asya re: your image description i think its supposed to be a horse based on the pose of the legs????? but yeah that face is…not horselike lmao

@maya i would assume it’d end up with features closer to a creole?

both in that one is adapting existing linguistic patterns from the source languages, and that the adaptation is being carried out through natural use as opposed to a consciously formulated ruleset

oops! 

@Lady it didnt do being silly with polls first but like. it did do literally exactly ooops! all vanilla extract

oops! 

@Lady in which fedi recreates a tumblr meme

@inametaphor 🎉🎉🎉

@Lady sometimes i think i missed my true calling as a reference librarian

@runpunkrun yeah the length of how much you can see is REALLY random which def adds to the frustration

but yeah any kind of exchange/group action/etc where you’re expecting people off tumblr to need to access a good bit of the content unfortunately just has to be on a custom theme to make that work. which sucks :/

@runpunkrun it only comes up when you’ve scrolled a bit (how much scrolling….varies because why would tumblr be consistent about anything)

which also means its a bigger issue on mobile, bc the screen is smaller and you need to scroll more. For that particular post I can see the post but got the popup when i tried to keep scrolling down to the notes

but as a totally random example that in no way inspired this post, i can’t read the whole pinned post when linked to tumblr.com/end-otw-racism

@Forestofglory @villainousfriend i think it rotates through a couple options in english? but they are all kinda weird and condescending yeah

@aegtx yes there are also some other options to let people restrict access to their blogs for privacy reasons but i generally assume anyone using those is doing it on purpose so i didn’t include them here

i can screenshot the setting i’m talking about later for you but it’s a per-blog setting

@bouncinglime yep! if you get it you can try editing the link to be in the subdomain format—it usually works

@asya new owner talks about believing in the open web while he turns around and puts everything behind a paywall 😡
