So Mastodon recently made a change where if you click on someone's profile and view it, and then click follow, you get told "fuck off to your own damn instance and just search you idiot"
Whereas the Mastodon expectation is that I've specifically viewed the profile of everyone I click the follow button for.
I'm not sure why the mastodon community has opted for maximum friction for their preferred workflow.

Unknown parent • •Yeah - uh - I don't use mastodon, so using tools that make it easier on Mastodon unfortunately wont work.
Yes, I could write my own, but that's work.

in reply to silverwizard • • •It's also an issue with Friendica. When I click on someone, The first couple of options send me to their instance, where I can't follow them. When I get a follow/friend request, I have no option to see what they posted without going to their instance. Clicking "network" or "timeline" shows my own, not theirs.
There's a lot that can still be improved about the UI.
