@cheeaun Don't think too much. All other list items on that screen have 2 lines of text. They just want to make it consistent.

Chee Aun 🤔

@zhenyi is this one of those cases when designers want it to be 2-liner, don't know what else to put, so randomly put "from 50 servers"? 😆

@cheeaun Yeah that would be my guess 😅

@zhenyi then I'll just pity the engineer who look at this in the mocks, then think "oh now I'll need to loop all accounts, grab their domains, dedupe and display the number", not even knowing why need to show them in the first place 😬

@cheeaun Haha yeah, I bet it's happening every day in many companies. "But 1 line of text looks so ugly!" 🤷🏻‍♂️

@zhenyi yeah… sadly true.

I always question the designers tho' (in prev companies), not to annoy them, but more like challenging their train of thoughts. Sometimes might end up with something better 🤞

@cheeaun The Threads engineer should just put "fediverse ftw" as the second line of text

@zhenyi lol the funny thing is that everyone always reply to these posts, asking what's fediverse 😂

@cheeaun @zhenyi this whole thing is mindblowing.

They're creating a thousand intermediate steps.

At this speed full users 2 way federation is foreseen in 10 years, when they for sure have it implemented natively.
