My favorite thing about mastodon: I'm not asked to sign up as I scroll down the page.

Twitter got rid of that right after the Musk takeover.

(Although I think a softer version of it reappeared for a short bit…)

There's still a persistent bar at the bottom of the page.

Hmm no, i see the popup all the time, including today. Sometimes its full screen, sometimes just a window, and about 1/4 of the time it cannot be closed without redirecting to sign up

Same here. I’ve seen no change in this behaviour since Elon took over.

Isn't that one of the first thing Hotz was suppose to get rid of?

He can't even get rid a simple popup?
