Going down shortly to attempt an upgrade to 1.6.1
Will I ever not feel inferior to everyone else ... ?
@KitRedgrave oh wait no the profile page change killed some of the fixes *cries*
@KitRedgrave on the plus side you get to see my code in action now!
even if it is only really making avatars not look like dumb shit
... please no
I do quite desperately need a better job, but I constantly get that sort of feeling of "who would hire me" and "what am I even good for anyway"
@bea and then just, lots of little nitpicks here and there about layout and organization and what should be shown (personally, I think a favorites count/list should be shown on the profile page, optionally per user) and what shouldn't (any private posts shouldn't show on profile pages, I feel they should be static?)
@bea most of the info pages also have messy layouts and in some cases incredibly poor contrast, about/more after it got changed most recently being a prime example
@bea I've never been a fan of profile pages as they've been in any version of Mastodon, I would rather try having profile info to the left side and posts to the right, along with possibly color themes and other customization (old Twitter!)
@bea it's not just the front end that I have issues with, really
But realistically that will probably never happen just due to the sheer time investment I would need
Slightly more likely but still improbable is forking Mastodon and just changing all the UI parts
Hmmmm.
If I had the time and energy, I would probably try my hand at making my own ActivityPub implementation. I find Mastodon's UI is rather lacking in a lot of ways

@yuu tip though: don't run release candidates
You're running a version with changes that break things for a significant number of users, anyone who doesn't have their server on 1.6 or newer cannot see your private posts or DMs
@revenant did you revoke tusky's auth at some point?
@yuu Yes yes, hi hi~ owo
@vahnj I'm sorry I don't mean to make it worse ;~;
You know, it would be nice if the timing of the release candidate's release didn't feel like a direct attack on my support network
oh for fuck's sake I just mentioned to someone that DMed me that I knew I was going to have to deal with upgrading this instance due to 2.0 being breaking bullshit and that I don't have the energy to do so right now
AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS
