   Making Mastodon Better

   If you are interested in what might be done to improve Mastodon, @tchambers has put a lot of great work into identifying current deficiencies and now coming up with a whole bunch of ideas and proposals.

     @mastodonmigration @tchambers
     Read it. (And enjoyed the reading…very clearly written & also entertaining.)

     I’m no longer an analyst/software engineer, so ignore this comment from a nobody if you want, & it’s not meant as snark. To use an ancient comparison, you’re going to start with a model that people USE daily (like WP5.1) & end up with an over-engineered, experts-only quagmire with so many esoteric features that befuddle average users (like pick a version of MS Word).

     [All I’d like are 1) a draft version of posts that is then finalized at posting but remains editable; 2) a mandatory subject word/phrase at the start of every post so we can self-edit seen content without having to filter by (unknown) hashtag; e.g. “politics” “cats” “tech” “humor”. ]

     And FYI, one reason I left Bluesky after a few weeks was the “starter pack” nonsense — which absolutely caters to popular/large account & is not inclusive of lesser-known (but delightful) commentary. Fuck that stupid numbers game!

     Cheers!
