Nervous hearing people vaguely complaining about some UI redesign in "Mastodon 5.0". mastodon.social (usually effectively Mastodon Ruby's staging server) is still on 4.7.0-rc.1.

This is it; I don't like anything about it and will be considering alternate frontends when it ships. I have no feedback. My advice is "identify everything different between Mastodon 4 and 5, and do the opposite of that". The worst thing about this is the cursed "floating" compose window. I hate this in gmail, I hate it in every app that has it. I like how in current Mastodon Advanced I can work on a post on the left side while looking at something else on the right side

I hate the anxiety of feeling like the window I'm typing into is a soap bubble that will disappear if I try to interact with anything
