Unfortunately, you're suggesting some technical workarounds for the non-tecnical problem.

Agree. But we could say tthe same thing in the opposite direction: if you need more information on your screen, just use scaling and font settings :)

Almost 150 upvotes gets the article published behind the paywall. That's interesting.

That's great. And if something is comfortable for you to use, it doesn't mean it would be comfortable for the majority of other people.

Maybe you use large screen(s). Maybe your information is not important and/or the interface doesn't require actions. Context matters.

As a user of 13-inch 2560x1600p screen, I definitely can say that apps need more whitespace to be usable. I've also been using 2 monitors 27-inch each some time ago. And yes, such a configuration allows for a greater density of information on the screen.

That's why I say (again): information density must be comfortable for humans. In their contexts of course.

Ok, to start a discussion we need a topic and some theses and arguments. Maybe a couple of examples, proving the topic.

You've just thrown some shit in the fan and that's all. There is nothing to discuss here.

Information density MUST be suitable for humans. Usability and productivity both have nothing in common with amount of clicking and scrolling required.

Just imagine making your font size something about 5px. And 1.0 as a line height. Sounds good, isn't it? There ia so much information displayed on the screen.

I have two rhetorical questions:

• are modern devs really unable to do something that work NOT in the browser?
• why every dev is about to invent its own - incompatible with the whole other world - protocol?

Yes, as said - you have to take it every day. For me personally, there are no any side effects. But, there are also no benefits.

Oh, that's a bit sad(

There are social networking apps: Planetary and Manyverse.

It's just a music. It has its own niche and fandom. I can't say it's really popular.

Tags represent flat structure while folders allow you to build some hierarchy.

I use Ice Cubes client on my iOS. And it has a feature called "Local timelines". I just add an interesting instances there and read it without any problems, just like if it was my local timeline.

I would recommend to browse press.coop and (maybe) newsie.social instances.

Neither me nor my friends don't beleive Russian media.

There is a quite popular russian principle: listen to the government's plans and prepare to exaclty the opposite.

Indeed! And the problem is that you never know when :)
