Have you ever seen the 👁️element in the mastodon UI and wondered what it meant?
It’s actually quite simple and useful!
When you see the 👁️, it means your webcam is active and streaming images directly to Mastodon HQ, where Eugen (@Gargron ) is watching. He reaches up and gently touches the screen, whispering “what are you going to toot next, my lovely?”
This feature is pretty handy, but if you prefer, it can be switched off simply by clicking 👁️—> 🚫👁️

No, seriously!! What does that #eye indicate? I asked someone else about it many months ago, and they didn’t have an eye on their screen. 👁️
