even this app i’m using now, the mastodon app, is worse. it still has the weird bug from a couple of years ago where the timeline jumps around. but now images don’t open in a black void like they used to on all social media apps, instead they hover on top of the existing timeline, and dismissing them requires a slightly different kind of swipe that feels 30% less intuitive. also I swear you used to be able to tap-hold to save an image, but that doesn’t seem to work now?

id like to say this decline is a consequence of malevolent venture capitalism or entropy or moloch’s ten armies or whatever, but it affects all apps, small and large. its very rare to find an app which gets better. the nicest people are making lovely apps, and even their apps are getting worse. it’s *all* apps.

@jk Remember when computers would do what you told them to do?
