I'm trying out all the microblogging alternatives and Mastodon deserves way more credit than it gets for having a lot of great people pleasers already baked in: Editable messages, the Tweetdeck-like advanced web interface, a chronological feed.

I particularly like Mastodon now that I figured out this trick: when I start following someone, I click the bell ("notification") so that every time they post it appears in my notifications feed.

Then I can quickly decide whether to keep it that way, or dial it back to just "follow" (without the automatic notification), or unfollow.
