@clock@net.miaumuh.ch Heya Clock, The solution to the PITA rate limiting is to close tabs. It seems to work OK if I keep it down to about four tabs on any one instance, usually main feed, notifications and a couple of others I'm considering. It gets ugly at around ten tabs. @_elena@mastodon.social

@zl2tod@mastodon.online @_elena@mastodon.social Thank you much for very useful tip!I had many tabs indeed because I need them to keep a list of people from my "Notifications" who followed me to examine their profiles whether I want to follow back. Why doesn't the error message say "Mastodon doesn't support tabs, close tabs"?And why does the message deliberately prevent typing?This way I don't know what to do to get rid of the message. Also, how am I supposed to keep a list of people from my Notifications who followed me to examine their profiles whether I want to follow back?Just hovering over each of them takes about 10 seconds to display whether they follow me or not, which is a huge waste of time. Have Mastodon authors actually tried to use Mastodon?I guess not.Did Mastodon do UX testing? #ux #mastodon #PITA #tabs #tabbedbrowsing #list #people #notifications #following #follower #followers #uxtesting #errormessage #badux
