Everyone on Pawoo seems to be very conscientious about tagging and CW usage for the sake of others. Even if it's a stereotype, it reinforces my notion that Japan is built on manners and consideration for other people.

Aside from that, the other positive outcome of the confusion of Loligate: I think I now have a much wider understanding of Japanese terminology regarding erotic sub-genres. lol

Pro-tip: To get web-UI to remember where you left off in the timeline, make sure your scroll bar is not pegged to the very top.

I can scroll all the way to the top, for example, and just click the down-arrow exactly once (or move knob down a few pixels). This is sufficient to get web-UI to not relocate your place in the timeline.

12. You have to leave an unsolved problem in the hands of the users, so that their interaction with the network takes the form of exploring/looking for things, and solving the problem themselves. It's a center of identity and intrigue that will draw people in.

I don't think Mastodon needs to have a "universal" search or solve its fragmentation problem. That can be what the users do: curate, discover, explore. Letting them exist in space of unsolved problem also gives vision of possibilities.

11. Back to Mastodon: I like it for the dumb and dead simple reason that it has a solid interface and it's more or less clear what it is. It's branded well (or at least well enough.)

Can you look at Synereo's site and explain what it even is? I can't.

Diaspora just doesn't have the magic.

Twitter worked I think in part because it has too much, so you have to curate, and it feels like exploring.

I think there's a similar dynamic with mastodon and federating to different instances.
