æʃliŋ, loaf of autismo @aescling@cat.family

seeing the public view of a post on mastodon dot social sure does look weird to me now though, i will admit

i’ve seen people get upset that guar gum wants to use the same UI (down to the URI) regardless of whether a user is logged in or not but honestly i wish mastodon had always worked like that. the current separation is very confusing at first and i’m not sure it was ever really ideal

@noracodes i think nyall figured i meant “alienating” there but lol

@noracodes it also has given me the terrifying desire to get a motorcycle someday lmao

@noracodes they are extremely fun

@noracodes do you like ATVs

@noracodes like, much much more

@noracodes i do think mastodon is not exactly designed with users in mind and i do think its social spaces are generally technical in a way that people do find alternating, BUT i think these problems are much more social than they are technical

@monorail best way i can describe it is “like a cream soda but with a mild ginger bite”
