@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
@platypus not enough trees, clearly!

@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 https://www.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 😡
