Some nice updates coming to Mastodon profiles!
"We want people who are new to Mastodon and the Fediverse to be able to discover and connect with interesting accounts, without having to understand the details of decentralisation."
Already available on mastodon.social, and other servers running the latest code.

Side by side comparison. I particularly like the more compact design of custom fields.
Alright, definitely don't agree with this though.
"The ‘Following you’ badge no longer displays on the profile. People we surveyed ranked this information remarkably low in terms of establishing both trust and interest an account."
Yes, I also rated it as lower than the other signals...but that didn't mean I wanted it removed?
@mtechman Hi, no worries!
I am actually not a member of the Mastodon team, but see the conversation here: https://mastodon.social/@imanijoy/116297001406451094
