Curious to know the thinking/decision process behind showing the text "from 50 servers" ๐Ÿค”

It does give the impression that many people are connecting from multiple servers, further educating folks about the Social Web. But do people need to be aware of them?

@cheeaun@mastodon.social Don't think too much. All other list items on that screen have 2 lines of text. They just want to make it consistent.

@zhenyi@mastodon.social is this one of those cases when designers want it to be 2-liner, don't know what else to put, so randomly put "from 50 servers"? ๐Ÿ˜†

@cheeaun@mastodon.social Yeah that would be my guess ๐Ÿ˜…

@zhenyi@mastodon.social then I'll just pity the engineer who look at this in the mocks, then think "oh now I'll need to loop all accounts, grab their domains, dedupe and display the number", not even knowing why need to show them in the first place ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@cheeaun@mastodon.social Haha yeah, I bet it's happening every day in many companies. "But 1 line of text looks so ugly!" ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@zhenyi@mastodon.social yeahโ€ฆ sadly true.

I always question the designers tho' (in prev companies), not to annoy them, but more like challenging their train of thoughts. Sometimes might end up with something better ๐Ÿคž

@cheeaun@mastodon.social The Threads engineer should just put "fediverse ftw" as the second line of text

@zhenyi@mastodon.social lol the funny thing is that everyone always reply to these posts, asking what's fediverse ๐Ÿ˜‚
