Well, I'm going to give up on Mastodon as soon as I have the time to look for better software... because frankly, it's not as unusable as tw.... but that doesn't mean much.
Of course I haven't said "give up on the fediverse".
random scrolling whenever you try to do anything (like if a link preview is not immediately available, it'll move things from under your mouse when you least expect it) - the version they run on mastodon.social is even worse, so I dread to think this instance may be "upgraded" to that at some point
icons impossible to see with my eyes (with any theme) but no option to show text labels instead of having to hover to find out
Several things are correct, lists, only see once... but some is client-dependent I think. You say "mouse" so you are looking on the web? What browser, OS, etc. And do you want more than 500 characters or less? That is instance dependent.
@Uilebheist, what other fediverse softwares have you tried, and have any of them come close to providing you the experience you'd like? I've tried 10 different flavours deciding I prefer Friendica. There are still features that other have which I wish I had here, but this is what gives me the best experience. Whenever something new shows up, I enjoy reading about what it has to offer and taking it for a spin, who knows, maybe it'll be "the one".
@eshep @Uilebheist then why are you including my name in your comment, while you don't follow me, and I don't follow you, just to tell me about some other network?
@bazkie bumpercar, this here is the only post in which I have tagged you. I explicitly tagged the person (Uilebheist) to who's comment I was replying, not you. Their post on which I was commenting was pulled into my feed because @Randy Resnick, with whom I am friends, had previously commented on it. However, because the post to which I replied, was itself a reply to a post of yours, you were automatically tagged as a result, not be me as you can see from the attached screenshot of that post on my end. Uilebheist's claim of problems with their Mastodon experience is why I offered the advise of what resolved my issues with it and other fediverse interfaces. This is the reason I specifically addressed my comment to them, not you, nor anyone else. I apologize for inadvertently fouling your experience with the fediverse, it was in no way my intention. m(__)m
I don't see why testing is rude on an instance, unless you're testing a bot 😂. I would recommend trying a mainstream browser, if nothing else, just to see how that works. I don't have random scrolls, etc, on any client. I don't have a machine to test palemoon, alas. Anyway, sorry you're having issues.

More but 500 chars.
