Not quite. Version 2.0 will remove some OStatus extensions that we originally invented to circumvent the limitations of OStatus in regards to privacy. Traditional OStatus support will remain for the foreseeable future.

Mastodon is built on open web protocols. Currently that's OStatus, coming forward we're adapting ActivityPub (which is probably what you meant? ActivityFeeds is not a real thing as far as I can see)

Twitter as a company needs to think about how to be profitable. Twitter as a way for people to talk to each other and broadcast important events needs to be neither commercial nor centralized [1] [1]: https://hackernoon.com/

Mastodon the software is not politically aligned. mastodon.social the flagship instance of the developer (me) that simply runs/demonstrates the latest code, is, in this case, leaning left. You can run your own.

There are mod tools like sandboxing spam accounts or outright suspending any account (preventing it from posting and removing all of its data from the db).

I have multiple quitter.se followers and am following multiple quitter.se people. Are you sure it's not some sort of temporary issue with quitter.se? You could ask @hannes2peer@quitter.se (admin of quitter.se)

I added a "back" button to the headers of the public and hashtag timelines that takes you back to the getting started page, just for you.

I'm almost certain that Twitter is still using Rails in parts of the stack (they replaced the messaging bus with Scala, or something of that sort). Most importantly, a single Mastodon instance is not supposed to grow as big as Twitter.

You can press back in your browser to leave the public timeline, as well as opening anything else (account, hashtag, status) will replace it. I make an effort to moderate the worst, i.e. hate speech, spam and vandalism should not stay on th

Actually, "let's see what's trending on mastodon." doesn't sound wrong to my ears at all, but maybe that's because I've been around people who say that for a couple of months. For reference, the community-

Images actually work fine! But yes, mentions don't quite "work", i.e. when you mention someone on twitter and it gets cross-posted to Mastodon, it appears as a string "@username@twitter.com" which is informative eno

What disappears? Let me know @Gargron@mastodon.social or per e-mail eugen@zeonfederated.com Edit: Also as a side note, mastodon.social has been federating with GNU social just fine for more than 6 months, so I'm inclined to believe thi

If you try GNU social and Mastodon I believe with a high confidence that you'll find that Mastodon is a much better execution of the idea. So yeah my goal is for this to be the most popular thing. But they're not mutually exclusiv
