Rad things about mastodon we take for granted

CW - these are amazing

Editing posts - hard to go back once you taste this

Alt text as the norm - total community enforcement

Replies - option to delist them so we don’t clog the feed

Timeline curating - we have near infinite timeline options with filters, lists, local, federated, hashtags etc

Muting - we can choose a time period!

Character count - 500 let’s you get an effing thought out

Ownership - we can own the damn thing ourselves

I’m not a tech person and never really thought about ANY of this prior to Elon musk buying twitter a year ago, but popping onto baby bluesky has highlighted for me just how dynamic and mature mastodon actually is. It gets a LOT of criticism and omission from mainstream journos, but the reality is that mastodon is a fascinating and very user friendly global group project, and deserves some credit for what it has, not just (appropriate and important) criticism of what it lacks

All that said, I’d love to see masto continue to evolve in ways that make joining (and starting instances) much easier for regular people, BIPOC and people who don’t enjoy thinking about tech features! Would also love to see quicker adoption of features people are calling for, like opt-in quote toots.

Also, more humility & dialogue pls on how to make the fedi mirror the demographics of our planet: more ownership and participation from the global south, more BIPOC leadership and participation

What I would like to have is a way to detect if a browser has this enabled, and if so gently redirect them to an exit page about #webneutrality or something.

I love Mastodon because it doesn’t hide my posts from those that choose to follow me— nor does it promote them. It’s fair in a way that Twitter and the others just aren’t. The feedback feels honest and genuine. Mastodon is REAL. So it’s pretty sad to see accounts still playing follow-unfollow ratio games over here. One might even call it “pathetic” or.. “low quality”

SW is neutral. Users and instance operators are not. Pick the SW that meets your desire. Snac2 seems to be on the other end of the feature spectrum from Misskey or Calckey of minimalist verses full featured. Tell me how you like Snac2 if you try it.

Wow, someone wants peace:)

Not everyone is happy about it

The reaction of Yair #Lapid, the former prime minister of the Israeli government, to the de-esclation agreement between #Iran and #SaudiArabia

Lapid: "The agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran is a complete and dangerous failure of the Israeli government's foreign policy."

@Farhad A yeah, I don't doubt it, what a sad statement: ( These psychopaths want endless war. The same is true for the US, but for all their efforts they will ultimately push their enemies into each others arms.

@LinuxLounge I don't do much with video. The few times I go through all the effort for video I want to share, I put it on a peertube instance... But I don't use any other video sites.

Just finished reading/listening to "War is a Racket" by Smedley Butler.
youtu.be/26O-2SVcrw0

I was surprised how applicable to today it sounded despite being written pre-WWII. Same playbook I suppose.

Good listen and pretty short, too.

I think I saw it discussed somewhere on NA Social recently so thanks to whomever posted about it. 👍

If you’re still posting on Twitter then you’re actively helping a fascist achieve his goal of controlling the information so he can bend it how he wants.
