No Crops! (Some restrictions apply)
May. 6th, 2021 09:51 amWell I can certainly tell who uses mobile on twit based on the ones who talk about the crop no longer being a thing haha
I'm a desktop user so the new update does not apply at all and I don't trust that it will because twitter. I'm not really upset. Whether things crop or not isn't really a big deal to me, it's more of how the site determines where it gets cropped to that's actually tiring.
In any case, I feel like twitter is never going to top Mastodon in this. Crop still happens for twitter, which it supposedly crops to the middle of the piece (since when???), but Mastodon actually lets you control where the crop will go. In some ways, Mastodon is just way ahead of the game than twitter despite being smaller and newer than twitter.
Glad the mobile users got a treat though. Mobile twitter has a lot of shortcomings, but they actually got something solid happen for them with this so yeah, worth the celebration everyone's doing.
