There are so many UX folk who are out of work and burned out right now that I think many would like to do something meaningful with their time.

(To be clear: not getting paid is a problem.)

Also: do you all have a usability testing program? Do you want help developing one? (It’s not as challenging as it might appear!)

Also, real talk:
If the mastodon team is serious about making it easy to adopt, I will assemble a team of user researchers to donate their time.

@Orca @tintvrtkovic @danilo @thisismissem

Yeah, just because something is open source doesn’t mean it has values and practices that serve the people it claims to serve.

@tintvrtkovic @danilo money isn’t preventing Mastodon from being user-centred.

Ego, arrogance, and attachment to a vision that doesn’t match the needs of most people is.

I’m willing to bet they’ve never done a single usability test, and definitely have not tested core lifecycle journeys.
