  1. try to copy email from Facebook app to add to email header of email I am writing, but Facebook app refuses to just let me copy the email and instead insists on opening IOS Mail app with new draft

  2. try to copy email address from opened new draft, but for some reason, email addresses in the “to” field won’t let you select them for anything other than deletion

  3. try to type in weird email address letter by letter, switching back and forth between Facebook app and iOS Mail app, but instead for some reason when you switch to another app, it “sets” the email so you can’t keep typing it. Gotta do it all in one go

None of these UX decisions make a goddamn lick of sense.

Why does modern UX seem so actively needlessly shit? Microslop is garbage, so my reaction to shit like the right click menu insanity in Windows 11 is more “I’m not angry, just disappointed.” But Apple are supposed to be the “it just werks” sleek UX focused people.

Also, the fact that you can search for the exact subject of an email you sent yesterday, but instead of that, the search function will find shit from 2009. Also the fact that plugging in an iPhone to the aux automagically decides that you need to hear the first song in iTunes (doesn’t even matter if you don’t have any music downloaded/haven’t used any form of Apple to play music since 2009 either - it will happily download just that first song to play on repeat for you!)

I just don’t get it. These are choices being made (maybe not the email thing). Fucking why?

try to copy email from Facebook app

See, there’s your problem. Facebook is not email. it’s the gaping, flaming, asshole of hell. You really shouldn’t be using it at all, but that’s on you.

That’s why it doesn’t work

Don’t blame Apple because they don’t wanna bother to twist themselves into pretzels to make themselves compatible with it’s kaleidoscope of ever-changing crazy

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It was an email address, listed in a profile. Clickable, but not copyable. Was happy to pop as a new email draft up in the IOS Mail app. Just not able to populate into the field of the drafted email I had already written and had open.

It would be nice to discard Facebook, but unfortunately activism and awareness raising requires going into the spaces people already are. It’s also where most teacher communities are, and the kind of 50 year plus classroom management wizard that I want to be getting advice from is not going to be on the fediverse.

I’m not trying to give you the runaround or be difficult. Facebook calls “email“ isn’t really email. It’s some meshugganah crap they pretend is email. That’s why it’s incompatible with a regular email app. Some platforms try to make themselves compatible with it, and some platforms don’t even bother.

Apple‘s iOS mail app doesn’t even bother to try. That’s why it doesn’t work. It’s not your fault, it’s Facebook‘s fault for tricking you into thinking that it should work when it’s obvious to a bunch of tech nerds at Apple that it shouldn’t. And the people at Apple didn’t bother to explain that to you. So that’s where the gap is.

To my other point: I strongly urge you to separate yourself from Facebook. It, and it’s parent company Meta, are very very bad. They’re bad for the planet, they’re bad for society, and more specifically, they are very bad for you in particular. Whether you continue using them or not is a personal choice, but this is a very good example as to why it would be a good idea to start moving away from their services.

If you’d like some advice as to how to start, let me know. I’d be happy to provide you with some advice on how to start.

Best of luck ;)

Do you have established communities of national board certified teachers with Google drives full of resources who are happy to provide timely advice on classroom management?

The people who use social media platforms and the content they post are sometimes enough to make you have to ignore how shit the platform is, especially when those groups are hard to find elsewhere. I’ve not seen a lot on Lemmy, piefed or mastodon that makes me feel I can confidently talk shop teaching wise.

My elected representatives, as well as representatives of government departments are also often much easier to reach via Facebook than any other platform.

Yeah, I get that. Unfortunately, there aren’t alternatives for large groups like that at the moment. And they probably won’t be anytime soon.

If it were for personal use, I could definitely help you, but if it’s a professional engagement, I think you know what the situation is. Sorry.

I really am
