@catraxx @owiecc sure we can quibble over "excessive", but comparatively there's a lot of things hostile to casual users. Some of them are by design and unavoidable. Some have been or are being addressed. Some can be mitigated further.

@catraxx @owiecc there's also the "why am I logged into Mastodon but when I go to like, boost or reply to a post from a link it's asking me to log in or go back to my server?"

Because you've landed on a different server hosting the same Mastodon software, skinned, branded, and styled *identically*. But it's not the same. It's a different instance with no awareness of your account.

That's not an easy concept to grasp for a casual user, and the interface, while better, is still not that helpful
