I think I would happily pay for a subscription to #Twitter if Twitter:

  • had no #ads
  • showed a strictly chronological timeline of what you’re following (and only that)
  • offered #RSS (of accounts, hashtags)
  • let us edit past tweets
  • …while always preserving a history of changes and deleted tweets
  • were better at flagging NSFW, and let us customise visibility of those tweets

But I’d rather pay the same money for the
:fediverse: #Fediverse and :mastodon: #Mastodon to:

  • improve and evolve
  • become simpler to use
  • promote themselves so that they become way more popular

Friendica (fediverse):

  • Make posts as big as you want
  • Basic font styling + markdown support
    • Inline media for posts
  • RSS support (you can follow any RSS source)
  • Modern interface (we even have a custom theme at social.trom.tf)
  • Supports Mastodon's API so any Mastodon app works with Friendica
  • Home and Global feeds chronologically
  • Contact group support
  • Private messages
  • Email integration
  • Calendar
    and more...

I know people always recommend Mastodon and it is a great platform, but from time to time I remind them about the awesome Friendica :)
