Rad things about mastodon we take for granted

CW -these are amazing

Editing posts -hard to go back once you taste this

Alt text as the norm - (edit: you can be brief! edit it in later!)

Replies -option to delist them so we don’t clog the feed

Timeline curating -we have near infinite timeline options with filters, lists, local, federated, hashtags

Muting -we can choose a time period!

Character count -500 let’s you get an effing thought out

Ownership -we can own the damn thing ourselves

@seachanger And the sad thing is, 90% of this is "too much work" for most "normal" social media users and thus it won't become the standard

@EposVox tho watch bluesky steal many of these and improve on them over time! People are already spreading alt text culture from mastodon to bluesky as we speak

@seachanger I mean, "alt text culture" is just supporting accessibility. That spreading everywhere is a W for the internet
