I think Mastodon will need to look at allowing people to comment on things they repost more efficiently.
Just gonna point out that right now there are a lot of extremely competent Twitter engineers looking for better jobs....
DO IT.
I think we're seeing Mastodon shaping to environmental pressures....and right now, the Twitter emigratti (tm) are a big pressure.
OK, see, now? This mediocre post is "favorited"?
@Mastodon how about adding a "favorite" option, and separately, a "response" option, with "agree, disagree, happy, sad, mad, etc"?
I'm trying to curb the reflex to auto-star everything, because apparently now that's "favorite", not just approval/ agreement.
But more characters and fewer muskovites makes this a potentially usable site.
So I'm dipping my toe in the waters of Mastodon, and so far?
Kind of warm and inviting!
Of course, that's because it's populated by people other than the ones enthusing over Musk's toxicity.
