The irony of this post being an image which I can't select as I read ๐Ÿ˜ข

Don't worry, I got you. Here's the alt-text:

@jkโ€‹@mastodon.social on Mastodon: "note to ui designers. when i'm reading a long piece of text. i select text while i read it. I select text while i read it!. i select the text using my mouse. while i read the text i often select the text. when i select the text i just want to select the text. i don't want to perform actions on the text. i don't want a popup menu to appear when i select the text. i don't want to accidentally click on a Share link. i want to select text while i read it".

Ironically, my mobile Lemmy client will still not let me select text until I reply.
