The nice thing about mastodon being open source is that it can roll out new features much faster than anything developed by a corporation, like how linux always gets critical security updates earlier than windows does. Like, remember 2 weeks ago when everyone started talking about Bluesky's starter packs and what a good idea they were, and then mastodon pilfered the idea and merged a slightly janky but working implementation of starter packs within 2 days of the idea going viral?
