@forteller @harald What I'm stating is not a problem exclusive to ActivityPub / Fediverse software, by the way.
The whole FOSS community has a design problem. Sometimes, just sometimes, you get a group of people contributing to an project who have enough design competence between them to make something look good, or they luck out and find a designer.
But so, so many projects have either bad UX/UI designers or (mostly) no UX/UI designers on their projects and it shows.
