Oct 20, 2026, 11:09 PMLooking around at the new 5.0 release of #Mastodon that's coming here soon. I realize it's superficial of me, but the first thing that jumped out at me is I really like the new Orange theme. They've made some pretty significant changes to the UI. I expect there's going to be those that love and those that hate, but so far I'm in the former group. I've only been poking around for a couple minutes, but so far I'm really liking what I'm seeing.

@mike no shame in that lol. now I'm curious to see the orange one once 5.0 lands here
