oh jeez I almost just unfollowed someone because I thought I had mistakenly unfollowed them at some point pic.twitter.com/4e8R73NkS1

Same. I can't believe they claimed this would be easier to read because it is definitely much harder to read

Ok but is anyone else getting a slight headache from the Twitter font change or just me

I love how I use dark mode to prevent eye strain and headaches and then twitter is like "what if we made the follow button bright white on a dark background wouldn't that be great" no it's giving me the eye strain I'm trying to avoid

the new black buttons for following someone feel like i am about to curse them with my newfound presence which i guess is like, accurate

Digging the new Twitter font and design principles, but I really hope they fix the alignment here 😬 pic.twitter.com/qQZUfWLryn

This makes no sense. Just about every UI you encounter, an empty or greyed-out button indicates a condition needs to be met before an action can be taken, and a filled-in button indicates the condition has been fulfilled.

Every other aspect of Twitter's UI supports this pic.twitter.com/OVI5dGGr02
