Really? So if you go on a rampage of profanities and spew never ending hate and be as ugly and rude as possible that's praiseworthy?
> "For You" appears as the default option
No, it had been the default for several years now and every time you disabled it, it would mysteriously re-enable itself after a while.
> The "For You" timeline is only for Elon
No, he even complained about this feature, shadow-banning, censoring, and basically brain washing the masses among other things, before he bought Twitter.
> Mastodon is not great right now
No, because it will never be great. We discussed de-federation when I was at Twitter in the early days. It was clear an archipelago of decentralized servers can never generate momentum to drive enough revenue to get the wheel of acceleration spinning fast enough.
It was true then and it is true now, no matter how many hipster wanna be crypto bros who work on m7n tell you otherwise.
- wedn3sday 4y ago> "... drive enough revenue ..." Pretty clear where your values are here. Personally I quite like a system that's explicitly not being designed to drive revenue, and would like to interact with other people that also want to be in a place with a higher value then the dollar bill. Im perfectly happy to let people with your values stay on twitter away from me.
- soheil 4y agoWhat do you think revenue does? It's a signal that something is of value to society so it can be used for growth to further increase value.
