every time we think we're being too harsh with the criticism "Mastodon is like if Twitter were reimplemented to work like email, by people who understood neither Twitter nor email", something happens to remind us that no, we were right the first time, and not too harsh.
It took me 15 minutes to figure out how to even LINK MY PROFILE. Like everywhere was saying to use @ name @ server.cool but that's not a link, it needs to be server.cool/@name. Good luck typing that into masters search bar though! Good stuff
