Ohhhh, this sucks. This sucks bad.
One of the load-bearing UI features making Mastodon usable is the little "eye" in the corner. It unrolls all CWs in a thread at once. Coulda called attention to itself better, but it's critical.

Mastodon 5 it's just gone. No replacement. I wanted to link this thread I wrote on Bluesky, but like, I'm gonna have to explain to the Bluesky users how to unroll the posts and attachments. Can't just say "click eyeball"
There's one other thought I had, that I couldn't make fit into Bluesky's 300-character boxes.
I wrote this post, with intentionally provocative language, before the election. I think this frame is still useful. "Wedge strategies". What we saw last night was that Republicans failed to use trans people as a wedge against Democrats. But they *succeeded* in using trans minors as a wedge against trans people in general. (1/3)
I'm gonna try to word this carefully.
@mcc Apparently this will be brought back at some point soon-ish: https://community.joinmastodon.org/t/toggle-to-show-or-hide-all-content-warning-posts-in-thread/166
