Mastodon improving the onboard experience is great. The wannabe fedi-police will be out in force against a default instance i’ve no doubt and I’ve already seen numerous complaints about it.
It’s not “growth for the sake of growth” or against the idea of decentralisation. It’s just a small basic change to improve the flow for new people to get people started. Good stuff.
Also quote toots coming, yay!
@gamingonlinux mastodon.social has many problems, having everyone who isn't tech savvy on one instance presents a problem, once the instance is large enough it can become impossible to defederate without losing 99% of the user base. This could become an issue for minority groups if let's say mastodon decided to allow "free political discussion" and let right-wing people, debate "trans people" on whether or not they are allowed to exist. It would be nearly impossible to deal with this behavior.
I suggest instance admin defederate them now!!!
