You've only stuck with the native app and haven't gone to any of third-party apps yet? ... Part of the point of the whole open-source, federation business is that third-party developers are being encouraged to build their own.

There's a whole list of them here: https://joinmastodon.org/apps

Memorisation and spelling are good. It wasn’t long ago people were saying autocorrect meant you didn’t need to learn spelling which is basically the same thing as this atm but for longer form writing.

Memorisation and spelling without putting into practice ie writing essays and reports and fiction, is bad because as you say people just forget it if they don’t use it.

Thanks, great response. I’d assume that’s because cutting the headcount to such an extreme degree means the remaining devs are doing a lot of brass-polishing, and Elon is hearing a lot of ā€œSorry, sir, no one here knows how that works, so we’re afraid to touch itā€.

I mean crash as in "blue fail whale" appearing all the time. When company was bigger that used to happen often and now that cut down stuff I expected Twitter to get even worse in terms of crashes. It didn't, although that's not meant to say it got better either.

Had my account hacked into the other week. Still waiting for Twitter Support to provide some help.
