Mastodon

As usual, the three dots used to block or mute a user are almost impossible to touch. In the version I just installed, neither mute nor block actually did anything. Also, what is the point of a huge “Filtered” screen for filtered posts? Literally an entire screen that says filtered. Ego thought that was a good design?

I like Mastodon, but I like this app better on android, then on iOS. What are the most important features is the blocking feature and I can’t get it to work in the iOS app. So I can use Firefox or another browser to block I can’t use this app. Until you fix this issue, I’m gonna go find another app or just use the browsers from now on.

My friends send me links in texts to Mastodon posts and the app loads when I click them. But it doesn’t bring up the post. Why set itself to handle Mastodon links if it can’t use them?

The app is functional in the sense that the user can execute commands and receive output from the app without having to manually create a specific instance but without having a guide on how to fellowship with other users it really serves no purpose. Could it be yet another example of a simple distraction from the powers that be or is it just a little bit more complicated than a typical user experience is used to. Only time will tell…

Good app when it works but lately more often than not it just indicates “Offline” and I have to use a browser. Killing and restarting the app or changing networks doesn’t help.
