Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way
chrlschn.medium.com
A comment on a Hacker News thread inspired me to contemplate why Mastodon is everything we loved about social media before…

In many ways, Mastodon feels like rewinding the clock on social media back to the early days of Twitter and Facebook. On the consume side, that means that your home feed has no algorithm (this can be disorienting at first).

Practically, it means that you see only what you want to see and only see it linearly. You never wonder “why am I seeing this and how do I make it go away?”. Content can only enter your home feed via your followed tags or handles and the feed is linear like the early days of social media.

    I am now very sure you are young and naive.

    “Guy needs money” … for the time invested in providing something that is optional and you are free not to use.

    You don’t like apps with ads then don’t

      I give a simple personal opinion that ads are bad and people start losing their minds. You are arguing with my opinion like you can persuade me that ads are good as objective fact. You can view as many ads as you wish, but that isn’t going to change how I feel about it.
