Good #ux #design isn't "user centered" - it doesn't cater to individual user needs, and certainly not user wants.

#UXDesign decisions that prioritize these above the good of the community at-large, and then the user community, are the worst kind of design.

@PavelASamsonov I'm surprised how often I invoke the adage, "Don't annoy the majority of people for the sake of a tiny minority." It's a large part of (bad) design.

@Gilgongo @PavelASamsonov So we shouldn't have those image description fields in Mastodon for the tiny percentage of blind people then? I kind of want to support minorities even if it's annoying.

@adam @PavelASamsonov Do you mean the UI for adding alt text annoys most people? If not, then no, that's not what I mean 🙂
