   the core downfall of mastodon is that every instance is an opportunity to censor potentially thousands of individuals on the grounds of vague reasons such as “in appropriate content”
   
   their entire architecture is based around the idea that a single instance admin has the power to decide what its users are allowed to see, and you can’t easily move to another relay without rebuilding your social graph.
   
   why people still use this protocol is mind boggling to me.
   
   let users control their own feed ffs. Individuals and clients should have this power, not relay tinpot dictators.

     (Is this an implementation issue rather than a spec issue? I remember seeing fiatjaf mention this as a problem a few months back, but I haven't kept up with any proposals)
