But look at this. What does "local only" mean? It is a new term to users. There is space for explanations, where is it then.

If a developer introduces their own terminology, they need to explain it.

Take this, for example. Thorough explanations below most settings. I understand what they do.

I know and understand that it is difficult on mobile. Headings take up a lot of space, and tooltips are difficult because you don't have the mouse-hover ability that you have on non-touchscreen devices.

But developers. Seriously. What is the use of all these features in the settings menu without explanation. Even @Fedilab, which is one of my daily drivers, has so many setting sthat I just don't know what they do.

In a settings menu, you can easily add a small explanation or expand on the function of a feature. You have the space, and you can do it without compromising the #UI and #UX.

Because, now I just don't use those features. What do they do? Nobody knows!
