Current version of @MastodonEngineering uses up a lot of space in my feed for content I want filtered 😐
Did I miss a new configuration setting somewhere?

Screenshot of a boost of a post that contained filtered content - the boost itself uses up the full post size in the feed instead of being folded away.

@eniko @MastodonEngineering I'm guessing they're trying to make it better, but ux is hard ...

@larsmb @MastodonEngineering guess i'll be setting a great deal of filters to "hide completely" once this hits our instance :/

@eniko We are listening to all the feedback, and will rethink this with our designer.

@MastodonEngineering @larsmb to give better feedback on what bothers me about this: filters are for things that make me feel bad, even if I decide not to hide them completely. Right now the filtered item is small and unobtrusive, it doesn't really register but it's still there if I want to see the post. This new themeing makes filtered items more visually prominent than normal items, explicitly drawing my attention to them which is the opposite of what I want. The increased size taken up also means filtered items take up way more size in my feed than before, even though this is content that I don't want to look at 98% of the time

@nclm Thanks! Let's hope we can get that improved again.
The new look is more visually catching than the hidden content, that's ... not great.

@larsmb @MastodonEngineering nope, you haven't missed a new option, there are two filter options (have always been afaik), "hide with a warning", and "hide completely"

"hide with a warning" previously had the warning be a small box, just with the filter name and a show more button

i really wish 'the mastodon team' and particularly Gargron would stop making these sorts of asshole changes that anti-user platforms like to make
