Unpopular opinion but here goes 1. UX is hopeless (menu on the right, post on the left? ) and different to be different (use common design patterns, don't re-invent the wheel to be different. User have expectations from other sites they use, don't violate them)
2. Onboarding unclear
3. Non-existent discoverability
4. Tons of different domains joinmastodon.org, mastodon.social, mstdn.social doesn't work nicely with password managers and difficult to remember which to go to login...

I’m the opposite. I hate when people don’t use Calendly or the like. The back and forth is time consuming. I like the ability to choose a time and always receive a calendar invite (so I don’t have to create one).
Yeah it's so odd to me that Signal has such top tier engineers and they can't manage to get a presentable desktop app. It looks and feels like a boilerplate Electron chat app with no styling and subpar performance (oh but they have stickers :eyeroll:).
Interesting. Been thinking about something like this. You mentioned other privacy preserving services; which products do you think are most in need of privacy preserving alternatives?
