Historically everyone has hated Mastodon's UI so I'm not surprised they've overhauling it. I mean I'm used to it at this point but the whole reason elk.zone exists is that people found Mastodon's layout unusable. You probably did too at one point even if you're defending it now.

It’s not a hot take. At all. Because I have talked to many folks who have confirmed it’s just “how things used to be”, but: Going out to a diner with a small group and talking is just as valid a way to interact in person with folks in the fandom as going to a convention, if not more so.

They don't care about the details and just want to take a "hard no" stance. My stance, on the other hand, is very reasonable and nuanced: LLMs […]
