Dear god I am sick of people attributing things that were part of standard protocols forever to commercial products. Yes, mobile technology means we need /presence/ more than ever (even if it's a logical rather than physical presence that's being indicated.) No, the away-state was not invented by AOL.

In addition to Spaghetti code, I have sometimes encountered a certain style of code caused by poor abstraction and interface design, supplemented by MORE abstraction and interface design. Often results from someone knowing that typing is important but not why.
Since it results in /millions of flaky layers/, I like to call it puff pastry code.

Big corporations don't have souls, they can't be good (or bad). They are like automatons. Wells Fargo can't be sorry, Wells Fargo isn't a person. Facebook can't be sorry. They are essentially a profit optimization algorithm that runs on humans and the bystander effect.
I make a habit of following a few twitter accounts in my RSS reader. One thing I really hate about most organizational accounts is the way they post THE SAME THINGS repeatedly several times a day.
Then again that's probably because I'm reading it in an RSS reader instead of having it scroll by in a giant timeline.
Though I really would prefer a Mastodon interface that was more RSS flavored than 'timeline' flavored. (A feed for everyone you follow, with things being marked read or not.)

I really dislike 'Redemption Equals Death' or the other tropes that buy into the idea that people /need to be punished/ somehow.
