@scottjenson I am recommending this article primarily for the term to be utilized.
@scottjenson I might also accept #Sacrifaction

Hello #UX folk!
Some people seem to think that the "craft of ux" is dead: striving to be polished is naive. E.g. snapchat & Instagram stories, which are horrible UX, are claimed to be "good enough".
I'm writing a blog post exploring this but need links to any examples of this type of good enough thinking?
I'm expecting mostly techbro types will say this
EDIT: I shouldn't have called out Instagram so strongly. It's odd but not horrible.

@scottjenson Have you seen the UX of high-end flashlights? :) https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/sk1upj/and%C3%BAril_2_ui_chart/

@mwichary Ha! Yes! it's pretty bad! It's a perfect example of "multiplexing" taking to an extreme.

@scottjenson @Lee_Holmes If this is bad then why do I love it so much
-
@dsandler VERY related. That's a very thoughtful connection to my point. Thank you.

@mwichary @Lee_Holmes You love for it's rebelliousness. It's *so* bad you're attracted to how wrong it feels.

@scottjenson I’m not sure Instagram Stories is bad! I think it was grafted awkwardly onto the old Instagram. But there were some interesting moments within it I vaguely remember. It was actually “polished” in some ways.

@scottjenson What specifically do you think is wrong with Stories? We’re building a social platform on ActivityPub and would love to hear an industry veteran’s take on how to fix and improve that format.

@khaldoonalnuaimi Was a bit too cavalier, my apologies. I was mostly channeling my historical angst against Snapchat, which was "so bad only teenagers could use it" (at the time) Stories isn't like that at all but it has always felt a bit odd to me, tacked onto the top. It's not the UI but the concept that you want two very different things in the same view, one horizontal and one vertical that just feels a bit 'smashed' to me.

@scottjenson Well virtually anything iOS26 related, or even more so macOS26. I'm sure there are more than few complaints if you search, while apple still tries to hold the high ground whil delivering near impossible to read menus and text. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/
@MakeAppPie @scottjenson Exactly. Looks totally fine in a product presentation, but when you're actually using it, there are a million things which are just "good enough" or rather bad.

@MakeAppPie @scottjenson (Just an average user's rant. No UX background.)

@katzentratschen @MakeAppPie Well, there is "we think it is good" and it's not (appleOS) which is it's own issue to discuss.
I'm thinking of so many products that are known to be be bad but because we're working so fast, velocity is so important that people feel that getting a better UX is actually naive. They don't even care that the UX is bad.

@scottjenson I think it's true. We employ *zero* UX designers or graphic designers to work on our product. R&D software engineers are expected to just bodge something together that's “good enough”.

Feed RSS
Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione

@staff if it weren't for all the sport bots that jam the feed it'd have been cool to keep seeing it

@staff to be fair one can say the same about the Trending feed, in the sense that it features a pretty homogeneous side of Mastodon that focuses on the same subjects over and over (e.g. exclusive focus on U.S. issues, technology, cats when people have other pets or none at all, etc.) and this can discourage people with more varied interests or lived experiences beyond that. We should be encouraging more diversity of interests beyond those things. The Trending feed does not sufficiently do that, despite the lack of an algorithm.
(this is kind of tangential to my earlier point about moderation, but I still feel it is worth mentioning)

@untilted We certainly do, but the live feeds on mastodon.social are things posted in the last few seconds, it is essentially a pre-moderation view.
It is neither the best way for newcomers to find their community, nor much use to many established users. If people want to drink straight from the firehose, they can, but we do not recommend it.
-
@staff I use to use the everything everywhere feed, but more like how one views an extremely fast moving river, it was for watching it all scroll by and not really absorb.
-
@staff Surely you can provide a better experience on your server by moderating the users who regularly post spam and other offending content on the live feeds a little better instead of having to resort to disabling the live feeds...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@staff/115849914607258480
As previously announced, live feeds are now disabled on our servers by default.
We don't think they provide a good experience on our server, but feel free to reach out to us if you'd like to still see them.
