@slashzero it does *so much* right and then

critically fails on just one thing and makes the entire thing unusable.

@iliana that seems to be a pattern with Android Mastodon apps. They are all 99% feature complete but missing one key feature that makes them annoying to use. Toodon is unusable because of missing CW inheritance.Tusky lacks multi-account support but is the best imho. Mastalab's image handling is bad and does weird things with default post privacy based on the locked account flag. *sigh*

@esp that's what I always hear.

they can do that, fine. I don't care. I don't think they should be allowed to, essentially, advertise their app on joinmastodon.org if it has a critical usability issue like that.

@iliana I'm just wondering if it is a usability issue in their eyes. Maybe their perspective on the platform is different?

@esp that makes sense.

but I'd be happier if it were at least a setting in the app, right? even if it was off by default? at least I could tell people "hey turn on that setting" instead of "hey don't use what is clearly the best app in every way except for a critical flaw, relative to the policies of instances you interact with the most"

@iliana Oh yea I absolutely think inheriting cws should be a thing, or at least an option. I use kurotodon on desktop which also has that problem and it frustrates me to no end.

I'm personally just wondering there's a reason behind it. The Japanese side of the internet is rather closed off due to a language barrier and has an entirely different culture than our side, after all.

Suggesting features to a dev becomes a bit difficult too at that point.
