"everyone who can't figure out how to use mastodon is stupid" your website does not have a functioning system for following people on other servers
like i am sorry but i saw a survey going around on here where like 80% of the respondents used linux. no one on this website has any idea how normal users of technology work
"why do journalists keep telling people our website is hard to use" because there's a million weird little idiosyncratic things like "replies aren't all visible" and "you have to copy paste stuff to follow people on another instance" and the site culture is to gaslight anyone who points this out
@NoraReed Perhaps you're in danger of minimizing the people who point out *this doesn't need to be an issue*. I use the Ivory client and none of the things you just mentioned are an issue for me 98% of the time.
@jaredwhite i don't have a fucking iphone
@NoraReed and yet most journalists out there, at least in the west, will be using iPhones. Curious!
@jaredwhite @NoraReed I’m not a journalist but I do have an iPhone, and I’m using a third-party client (Ice Cubes) and there are replies in this thread that I can’t see. I can see replies to them, and other posts by the same user in this thread, but not those posts.
@NoraReed @jaredwhite There are plenty of third-party apps for Android.
