Whoa whoa whoa...

Whoa.

You mean to tell me that #Mastodon has *zero* algorithms deciding what I should read, and that the vast majority of instances banish Nazis into their own shadowrealm instead of tolerating them in the name of EnGaGeMenT?

Hah! Next you'll tell me there are no advertisers wielding influence over feature design so they get more marketing eyeballs!

Wait, what??!

@chartier I mean... Gargron does seem to be trying to make the software more and more like Twitter and otherwise obnoxious.

But overall, yeah!

@frostwolf Huh, this is a new one on me. In what way(s)?

@chartier 4.0 has some annoying shit. The entire mobile UI got completely changed around purely for the sake of change, and it's super annoying now; he's adding /algorithms to search/ (boosts your ranking if you have more followers, what the fuck); logged-out click-on-a-post view needs Javascript now; and I'm sure there's something else I'm forgetting.

Post editing is nice though, at least.
