it is indeed very annoying that looking at a fediverse profile doesn't work without js

cws don't expand (we have detail+summary!) and i think there's some fork or alt software that only shows a blank page

yeah like botsin.space is an empty void and at a glance it seems to be stock mastodon. come on

ok so mastodon 4 just made everything js-only and shows //nothing at all// otherwise. what a humiliating step backwards

@eevee while it doesn't help for profile pages, at least for general UI, and this is an absolute key difference between mastodon and any commercial social network, mastodon has a competent API that lets you do the vast majority of things you would like to do on a daily basis, with rate limits that are the same as the official frontend, and without begging to be allowed to first

one day I will make the multicolumn multiaccount client of my dreams. or maybe someone else will. lots of people do like pinafore

@halcy @eevee yeah, discovered pinafore today and really enjoying it, it's missing a couple features (like edits), but surely they can be added in time. But yeah it doesn't work at all without JS, but so much lighter, and so keyboard friendly!

@tshirtman if you want a completely js free web interface I believe brutaldon is that

@halcy @tshirtman brutaldon looks pretty cool so far...

@jbowen @halcy @tshirtman It's my primary interface to mastodon, and has been for 4 years (:

(We will accept patches. There are some bugs. @djsundog runs the instance now; I haven't put up the .eu mirrors yet. Because "time" is apparently a thing that I have run out of. a lot.)
