@enigmatico TBH, I hate the #Enshittification that gets us shitty #WebApps with #DarkPattern|s and horrible #UX like #Discord and #MicrosoftTeams.

IMHO there's no valid excluse not to have a easy-to-use, free and publicly accessible #API like #Zulip, #ntfy or even #Oshi has.

Everything else is just #AntiAccessibility by design and should be outlawed!

@JustinLachance I mean you literally get people who whine about #Microsoft's shitty #DarkPattern and how they force people to make a value-removing account with them but apparently #TechIlliterates rather accept more and harder abuse than even trying out something that doesn't trample their #HumanRights instead.

It looks like #StockholmSyndrome to me...

@stux @aral Personally, if I was a #WebDev and not a principal opponent of #PopUps and #DarkPattern I'd specifically design a #PopUp and #Blocker to ban #Chrome from sites...

But I know this will rather get weaponized by the #advertising #Industry as yet another #AdblockerBlocker than anything...

Yay, dark patterns! The only prominent button is the one to sign up for a thing I didn't ask for, and has completely unclear functionality. Somebody's gonna get promoted for whatever this is, bcuz "engagement" will go on a spreadsheet.

@evangreer +9001%

Shit like that - including #NakedScanners and #Fingerprinting people who did nothing wrong - should be illegal!

After all @digitalcourage already took a look at those shitty #Scanners and how passengers got #DarkPattern'd into forcing them into them against their explicitly denied consent!

@arstechnica it's just the #greed of big manufacturers to literally shill the next device and #DarkPattern clients into "#JustBuyANewOne!" that they employ...

I wished @Fairphone hadn't #downgrade|d the #FP4 with neither real #DualSIM [could've that #eSIM on a seperate #NanoSIM card!] nor a #HeadphoneJack [nor some smol adaptor that snugly fits in the bottom of the device to provide both #TRRS #Headset + #USB-C Data & Charging at the same time!

@Miriamm no.your fingers, but #DarkPattern design!

@dborch literally #DarkPattern alla #Tracking-shice...

Gehört IMHO genauso verboten!

@ampersine @arstechnica Also "It's better in the App" is literally #Reddit admitting they're a bunch of #DarkPattern using assholes...

Anyone help me with this one? I don't know if a tick means I'll get spam or I'll not get spam!

I made an excessively long Tweet thread on ye olde site complaining about the UX of Turbo Tax. Please hate it.

Seriously, don't make software like that. Have some decency toward your users. Tell your boss "No" sometimes.

@mcc because #WalledGarden and #DefectiveByDesign and #DarkPattern and #BackDoors for #TLA agencies.
At least one US municipal police IT department enabled #windoze #RDP for sudo accounts on the domain controller so the mayor and city counselors could access their *EMAIL*!!! And IT managers stonewalled FBI agent asking them to shut it down... until FBI caught a botnet on the police department network phoning home (it has been there for years).
#DarkNetDiaries

C'est effarant le nombre de sites qui utilisent des #DarkPattern dans leur fenêtre d'acceptation des cookies.

@jimstewartson I've talked to people on here about the #QuoteTweet or #QuoteToot functionality since the beginning.

There are plenty of ways to do it.

1. Reply, boost your reply as context.
2. Posting a link.
3. Posting a screenshot.

This actually discourages harassment and dogpiling of the original material, the thing Mastodon is designed to discourage.

It's a #DarkPattern for good

@sloopyy @QasimRashid Indeed!! It's a betrayal of trust, a #DarkPattern, a violation of #privacy. Worst if all, it makes us all hesitant to support worthy causes in the future. I cant wait for a #petition signing service to build a reputation for doing the right thing: right up front "We will delete your #data immediately after sending it to your representative."

That kind of service would get a lot more signatures faster and might go #viral and fix the system.

@aral And not just antithetical to traditional #darkpattern s but proactively, conscientiously, earnestly building what's best for all members of your community.

Websites that mess with the Web History API and destroys the back button needs to die in a fire. #DarkPattern #UX #WebDev

Look at this #darkpattern in #Windows11. You have to accomplish 3 confused steps to reject singing-in with a #Microsoft account. It's just disgusting.

Making me retype the email address when unsubscribing from your newsletter is totally a UI #darkpattern, no? 😡@darkpatterns@twitter.com
