There are two very different #UX observations about #mastodon:

1. Friction
The many UX problems that everyone likes to whine about

2. Value
That people are FLOCKING here in spite of this friction!

Stop missing the forest from the trees. In my career when people used a product with bad UX you *knew* you had a great product as it actually solved a need that was worth overcoming the problems.

Should we fix the UX problems? Of course! But this is a great place to start.

@scottjenson I find the UI pretty decent. My biggest problem was that I had no clue how to decide for a server – which is more of a…service design-ish problem. Its nice to have freedom of choice if you know how you need to choose, but if not, a defautl helps a lot!
@simulo choosing a server was the most confusing thing for me also. I'm kinda just stumbling around through it and I'm loving it so far though lol
