Android users: do you install apps from alternate app stores?
I last had an android as my main driver in 2013 and used to run a jail broken OS, but have no idea how common installing non play store apps is these days

@benpate@mastodon.social @scottjenson@social.coop Hey Ben, yeah, I totally agree- threads still make sense for public posts since there is often so much branching. The private use case really depends, but since it’s often 1-1, it feels less necessary to have the complexity of threads. Definitely debatable tho depending on preferences.
If threading stays in private messages, I’d love to see the 1 & 2 UX you described. I think of slack as another example of decent threads UX, but don’t like it nearly as much.

Cool, where’s the class action suit to join to get my refund for all the tariffs I had to pay since this was enacted?

Speaking of... I’m so delighted to see apps like @tg@indieweb.social's Currents! The calm, intentional design is so well thought out and executed 🙌🏻
Currents is just for RSS, though. I would *love* to see these design patterns be incorporated into other social feeds.
