I follow Mastodon on Github and I've been waiting for this to happen
I've been on Mastodon basically seven days a week since Nov 2 2022 and currently have one Main and two Alt accounts
My Profile page is highly evolved to look --> exactly <-- as I want it to, featuring --> exactly <-- what I want people to see of me on all three instances
(The Pinned Post carousel notwithstanding)
But now that's all going away, to be replaced by the opinions of 500 people from 300 instances, was it?
Funny
I never saw any opinions being asked of anyone, anywhere
Guess my range of view on Mastodon is too constricted
I did see questions and dissent on Github being silenced as "violations of the TOS" however
Interesting how that works
Oh well
Gotta onboard those weekender / short-timers, right?
I'm looking at your profile on the mastodon.social site (running an early 4.6) and your home instance and other than the custom fields being compacted a bit, I don't really see much of a difference:

I find the tiny space we're allocated on the left side to write posts and replies very off putting. It's too small and feels strange having to focus on the side of my screen instead of the centre. I find myself leaning to the left when I'm writing to correct for that, which isn't comfortable. Would prefer something in the middle and also inline when replying to others.
Thanks, J.

Profile editing is now a unified experience, with everything in a single view. You can also now add alt text for profile and cover photos.
@Mastodon ах да, one more thing, та самая фича, которую вы у себя убрали, не так ли?

There's much more to discover! Read the blog post for more information, and let us know what you think.
These updates will start to appear on mastodon.social and other servers running nightly builds from today, and will be available to everyone in Mastodon 4.6, coming in a few weeks.
@Mastodon
Add a ‚CV‘ tab with the option to share updates in post format and we can finally get rid of LinkedIn.
Great improvements. Thank you for your work.

@Mastodon you are aiming at lower tech users and are adding the local server regardless of whether it's the one of the viewer.
1 - how does this impact the user experience if they browse a post and try to boost it? or follow while viewing on a server not their own?
2 - it might be good in the tool tip to call out iff the server matches that of the user and say "this person's posts will show up in your local feed". (I'm not sure how to phrase it to be clear and not clutter, but that matters) -

@Mastodon could use some colour instead of all white... not sure what's the point of paying for a color screen to see a black and white UI.
