From row 2125 for about 200 rows of the texts on Github, there are all the Activity Feed texts. They're full of the word "user" but I've left them for now as there's so many and I feel it needs a bit more of a conversation to check everyone's in agreement about how it should be :)
Screenshots attached for illustration, but essentially: I see in the redesign Figma Kevin has made the Activity Feed texts simpler and less "computer-speak", more "human-speak" - so instead of "user X" has joined "topic X" or "group X" it's just "(Person's name) has joined (topic's name)" (or group's name), which is nice. The only issue I could see with this might be that by dropping the word "topic" or "group" in front of its name, you don't always know if it's a topic or a group that's being referred to. But probably not a big problem - doubt it would cause much confusion?
So the question is:
Do we edit all the activity feed texts to reflect the new style?
If so, does this happen in phase 1 or later?
If so, is it me that does it as part of the grammar/tone review this week, or who should do it?
@BeccaMelhuish activity feed is planned to get updated in the second phase of redesign. So I suggest we leave them currently as is and update in the phase 2.
