@smakian it’s the best year since pre-Pandemic! Lots of new stuff and fresh stock from the regulars.
For any client devs that may run across this — I know serving notifs has a cost, but I would pay a low subscription fee to have it.

I feel like an easy missing feature on the #Mastodon clients I’ve used is the ability to opt-in to push notifications for individual users.

We *need* standard protocols like ActivityPub, but ultimately, users do not want a protocol. People do not want a formless ball of infinite potential. They want "Products". They want a clearly presented thing that they can put into their web browser or phone and it slots them into a legible user flow satisfying a specific user story. This is not because they are brainwashed by capitalism. It is because most people *have other shit to do* and don't want to bother with software that's unfinished.
