@phanpy I'm unable to log in with mastodon.cloud since a couple days ago. Might be be because they're running the older v4.1.15? (This is happening on both phanpy.social and dev.phanpy.social.)

This is stochastic terrorism, and they're all gleefully supporting it.

Just love using the Internet in 2024. I'm so interesting to so many people!

Popups suck, and dark patterns suck, but at least I'm glad to know about the 213(😳) "partners" who will know what movie I was interested in watching if I happen to push the thing that looks like a button, instead of the text that doesn't look like a button.🙄

@phanpy Is there a mastodon-driven reason why the "+replies" and "-boosts" buttons on profiles are mutually exclusive? They seem to be like this in all clients.

Reason I'm asking: I often want to evaluate an account by looking at both their top-level and reply posts, without boosts (since I often follow with boosts ignored to reduce dupes in my feed).
