I have to say, holy shit, this new design has been an experience... not just in terms of basic UX, but also UI regressions, accessibility issues, and weird corner cases. And I'm not talking about my theme on top of it - I'm talking about the core. Everything has been rethought.
There are some good bits, but lots of things I personally wouldn't have done. I know drastic measures were needed, but in my opinion, this should NOT be in beta right now. I rarely see stuff this incomplete or untested in betas in general.
I'm not trying to blame anyone or say the work has been poor, but I'm a bit surprised after 4 years of pretty stable and safe Mastodon nightlies. Now it feels like a constant battle to fix my fork.
