The fun thing with Musk is it’s now impossible to determine whether he’s lying, doing something stupid, or simply inaccurately reporting something someone who actually knows what they’re talking about told him.

This isn’t how you handle automated processes scraping you, you handle that by restricting things that human beings can’t do. Preventing literally every user from seeing a reasonable amount of content is just cutting off your nose to spite your face. And it’s an ad-supported service. If nobody’s able to view content, they’re also not viewing ads.

With this move, he has truly achieved fractal wrongness.

I have been using Mammoth, since it was in TestFlight, but weirdly I feel like following the official release it has gotten progressively more buggy and unstable so I’ve been resorting to the Mastodon App more and more lately. But I can’t find a way to post GIFs in that, so I’m currently sort of jumping around between Mastodon’s App, Mammoth and Metatext for posting GIFs.

The lettering doesn’t scale very well. I assume it worked better for Mastodon World being “MW.” With this being “LW” the same stylisation looks fairly awkward, especially when scaled down.

It is, but when it get gets scaled down the negative space between the L and the W becomes harder to discern and is eventually all but lost. In the small version that appears most frequently, the gap is basically nonexistent.
