Eugen Rochko

I've been invited to do an AMA on Reddit tomorrow. Verifying that's really me!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments/zqfr4h/ama_with_eugen_rochko_founder_and_lead_developer/

AMA with Eugen Rochko, Founder and lead developer of Mastodon, a decentralized, open-source social media platform based on open web protocols. Ask your questions here!

Are there plans to allow 'how many time a toot has been favorited' to be used as a sort criteria? If not, why was the decision taken to not use...

@Gargron I think that's great! This place looks a lot like Twitter, but it feels like Reddit in a lot of ways. There's a natural crossover audience there!
Show threadColin MurphyDec 20, 2022

@Gargron I was going to ask this in the AMA, but the post has been removed. Mastodon is probably a better place to discuss this anyway.

I wasn't singling out Reddit here, but there was a touch of irony about it, which is why I used that screenshot. Sites I see daily, like the BBC, are just as guilty.

To my mind, even sites like https://www.openrightsgroup.org/ need to re-jig the icon order - and having two lines of icons seperated with an "... and if you must ..." would be even better.

@Gargron Dear u/NotJohnMastodon, you’re currently sat atop a mound of 21,800 karma. It feels great doesn’t it? You must feel very strong inside your karma castle. But who sits inside that karma castle? It ain’t a man or a woman. It’s a little bitch. A little bitch who got so much karma they forgot what it means to be humble. I hope you’re proud of your 21,800 karma points, while people like me sit here all day working out how to get just a fraction of that. I seriously hope you re-evaluate what you just said to me before further action needs to be taken.
