Well, I wanted to give it a chance, but the new Mastodon interface already feels like a step back. Some weird change for change sake things that the kids are all into.
I don't understand the new left home panel on the advanced interface, at all. These are not things I need to see all the time, and the the placement and order is weird.
And having to hit "new post" and get a pop up window on the complete opposite side of the screen that can't be moved is really weird.
