was just on the Associated Press website reading a news story.

1. Popup asking for donation.
2. Ad overlayed on top of the popup asking for donation.
3. After dismissing both, video in the corner overlaid on the text I’m trying to read.

It’s like no one cares about the user experience.

Mastodon #research 🚀

I’m working on my master’s thesis at the University of Vienna, and I’d love your input! My research focuses on sustaining long-term user activity on Mastodon, contributing to a more active Fediverse. If you have a few minutes, please take my short survey:

Your thoughts will contribute to meaningful research. Feel free to boost this post so we can reach as many users as possible. Thank you so much! 🙌

Normalize this

(Updated: I changed Twitter to X and User to Profile. I intentionally left out Bluesky because their approach to profile naming doesn't fit this paradigm and precedent.)
