Two weeks ago, a build of Mastodon's Web interface removed two features which impacted me, other power users and some folks with accessibility issues.
And many of us complained 'cause, well, it kinda sucked.
But @renchap and the developers listened to us! And they didn't just back out those changes. No, they restored the functionality integrated with other new features.
So, I wanted to publicly thank them for all that hard work and landing it last week. Y'all rock! 💖
@lisamelton@renchap@Gargron I love how responsive the admins are (at least the ones in my experience), and the people doing general help, like #FediTips, etc.
@AskPippa Indeed! The Mastodon community is like no other. It's, of course, not perfect but, ZOMG!, the people here are so much more pleasant and helpful than those on any other social media platform I've been involved in.
A new (?) feature, that I really like, is the display of author and date in the preview cards of external links. (Obviously it can only work for websites, that provide this information as structured data.)
@eatyourglory The temporarily removed features were the quick filter bar in the Notifications view (which looks better now!) and Back buttons/arrows (which also look better now!) in several views, e.g. in Lists.
@lisamelton@renchap@Gargron Microsoft recently did this with teams where you can no longer replace the existing file while sharing in chat. I really hope they can learn from these kind of responses but then again it’s Microsoft. They are in same altitude as Boeing.
